English Imperfect

It's a little unclear, but I think you're saying in this lesson that in English we couldn't use an imperfect tense, but although it might be less common, I've certainly heard people say things like "I wasn't finding my keys" to mean that they had been looking unsuccessfully but now had found them.

la cosa que, cosa que

Me cancelaron el viaje, cosa que me fastidió mucho.

They cancelled my trip, which annoyed me a lot.

this sentence uses cosa que in the middle of the sentence

the notes state otherwise using la cosa que and it says only for beginning of the sentence not middle

am i right to conclude, cosa que = lo que in the middle of the sentence, whereas la cosa que = lo que in the beginning of the sentence.

can i also further conclude below

Le encantan los documentales de historia, cosa que/que/lo que/lo cual (yo) encuentro aburrido = I find [the fact] that she loves history documentaries boring.

cosa que/que/lo que/lo cual are all interchangeable and replacement with no change in the meaning in the middle of the sentence?

la cosa que/lo que for the beginning of the sentence.

para poder comprarHi in the microquiz there is the following answer;

Carmen estaba haciendo horas extra para poder comprar una cama...

I'm wondering if it is common to use two infinitives together, as in "para poder comprar"?

Thanks

Present subjunctive?

Would the present subjunctive ever be permissible in these constructions or only the imperfect subjunctive?

Order of objects after the verb.

When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?

(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.

Or can we change the order like this:

(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.

Thanks.

PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.

The “Play All” function with this lesson / list of profession in Spanish is most helpful. It would greatly enhance your course and the use of your cou

It would greatly enhance your course and the use thereof if you included the same “Play All” feature for all the examples given at the end of each of your approximately 600 lessons.

Los vecinos cuelgan macetas con flores hermosas

Hi!

So I used caer instead of colgar because I remembered caer being used as "to suspend" somewhere. Does it sound odd/wrong to use it like that?

Thank you!

Edit after I found the answer: Caer is INTRANSITIVE, can't use it like that. I found examples of how it works when used as "hang", but your thoughts are always appreciated!
