the name of the tense

Hi, I was organizing my tenses chart and realize there's only "Pretérito perfecto simple" that can find "fui" in both ser and estar. I cannot find a page that shows "El Pretérito Indefinido", I'm wondering are this two tenses the same thing?

Thanks,

Hayley

When is a noun regular vs irregular?

Hello,

When is a noun regular and when is it irregular?

Nouns that end with an -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?

In exam conditions would the 'you' formal and non-formal be marked incorrect?

Tiene - can be stated with or without tu, so this question should be marked correct!

First and second person plurals

Notice how for all these verbs, the vowel -e- from the infinitive that is closer to the end of the word becomes -i- except in the nosotros and vosotros forms.

Listen to these examples :

Ha dicho eso para que nos sintamos mejor.
He said that to make us feel better.

No os sintáis obligados a venir.
Don't feel obliged to come.

No mintamos más.
Let's not lie any more.

Is the wording correct, should "except" be deleted here?

Notice how for all these verbs, the vowel -e- from the infinitive that is closer to the end of the word becomes -i- IN the nosotros and vosotros forms.

Tapete vs tapir

In a children's story, people named a baby tapir "Tapete". Does the name carry a meaning of affection by changing the word tapir and making it sound cute? Or do they just want to name the baby tapir with the meaning of the word "mat"? Thank you!

Quiero que volváis a mi lado.

I understand the use of the subjunctive after 'querer que' but why is this case is 'you' translates as you all (vosotros) and not you singular form? I makes sense if the statement was 'I want you all to back at my side '....

This distinction also appears in the lesson.
