Hi, why is terminarse (vs terminar) used here: “no quería que se terminara”, (I didn’t want it to end). Thanks a lot,

Shirley. 

Hello, I don’t understand why it is “le ayudó” rather than “lo ayudó” in the final sentence. To me, it is saying she helped him, so “him” is a direct object which would suggest “lo”.   Thanks for your help.  Tony

Hi, in a C1 quiz I just took, the question was the following and I entered the subjunctive as the answer (hubiera estado) but was marked wrong. I don't understand why.

Aren't either of these options correct according to this lesson? 

Thanks!

Since its being implied that this is a permanent trait of Colombian coffee?

Usually with expressions of uncertainty, such as "tal vez" or "quizas", we use the subjunctive.  Do the expressions "a lo mejor" and "lo mismo" indicate more certainty, since they don't trigger the subjunctive?

In the first and the last but one example, could it instead be "no más de unas monedas", "no más de unos minutos", and if so, would it have a different meaning/connotation?

Unfortunately, I cannot distinguish some sounds, as I have no ear habit. What can I do? 

Thanks for you help.
