As someone else pointed out this is a bad translation of English. In English it would be said that, "It's a good thing I left Miguel!" I don't buy the British translation that was proposed as I have literally never heard that. 

"Hurry, Run!"  Can I interpret "Hurry" as Command, too? If so, none of the options is appropriate. 

I'm having trouble understanding this answer in a study plan test.  Could you please explain.

Ella estaba lavándose el pelo cuando él llegó.
She was washing her hair when he arrived.

When it is combined with another action that interrupts the ongoing action at that time. The interrupting action is generally in the simple past (see the last example where the ongoing action "She was washing her hair" was interrupted by another sudden action "he arrived”.

 Te ________ hasta que me aburrí y me fui.  
I was waiting for you until I got bored and left.

era esperando
estaba esperando-----my answer
estuve esperando------correct Kwiziq answer
fui esperando

 To me, it seems that the waiting was interrupted by "got bored and left."

Question:

Queda muy ________ arroz, no podemos hacer la paella.

Answer: poca

I understand the explanation of when to use poco/poca/pocas/pocos but I don't understand why in this circumstance it is feminine, because I thought arroz is masculine. Is 'arroz' actually feminine, or is it because 'la paella' is feminine? 

In the introduction to this lesson, you say the meaning is similar to using "haber plus infinitive". I think you mean haber plus past participle i.e. the perfect tense

Hi there.

I (a native Spanish speaker) heve been reading texts from the French version of this site for a couple weeks, and after learning that there is a version that teaches Spanish I've come to take a look out of curiosity.

And wow. After reading this text I'm quite sure I'm going to stop using this site to learn French, just in case the quality of the French texts is anything like that of this supposedly C1 Spanish text. That "habré" in the first sentence should be "tendré", most commas are misplaced and the connectors... I mean, I guess they sound correct if you have just read their meaning in a dictionary and have never heard anyone use them, but to a native they sound like Google Translate, or worse. The verb tenses used are also wrong. Technically ok if you've just read the relevant chapter in a grammar book, but an absolute pain for any native ears.

If a native speaker wrote this as a highschool composition their teacher would spend a whole red pen trying to correct it, and they might sent the author to the hospital just in case they have just had a concussion.

Later edit: sorry If I come up a little cranky and dismissive. I just feel like a fool after realizing that the quality of the texts I've been using for French reading practice is probably very low.

It appears to me that the better answer for "we have been" would be "hemos estado" rather than "hemos ido," which seems to me to say "we have gone."  In English, there is a difference between "been" and "gone."  Could you please advise.  Thank you.
