Hola Inma,
The hint for the phrase "The clergy was the principal promotor ....." is to use the singular form of the verb for 'the clergy'." It should be singular form of the noun.
I enjoyed the history lesson in this exercise and definitely learned from seeing how the verbs "fundarse and instruirse" were used.
Saludos

I wish there were comprehension questions at the end. It’s annoying that there’s no way to “complete” the reading exercises like the writing and listening ones.
Why does árábe have two accents the first time and only one, el árabe, the second time?
How do I learn about imperatives that are irregular like “ven”....?
I don't understand why the answer is "ustedes." The speaker seems to be talking to a single child which would suggest singular, familiar and not formal and plural. Help me understand why.
8 Esa película no es apta para ________. Solo tienen 10 años.That film is not appropriate for you. You are only 10 years old.
(HINT: Use the right pronoun after the preposition.)
nos
ustedes
sus
ti
Why does the speaker sound like he is making some kind of extra sound before saying the first word "estoy"? I listed to it over and over and it sounds so strange to me - like a "y" or "e" sound before he says "estoy". Am I missing or misunderstanding something? Thanks!
The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast when the sentences are long and complex, even for advanced students. I have to use a separate text to speech app at a slightly reduced speed in order to fully understand them. They are not just speaking at normal speed, but at a very high speed. (In my considered opinion)
thank you, James
I think I understand the difference in the usage of adentro, vs. dentro (de) but does the same principle apply to afuera vs. afuera (de)?
you hear - oyen but can hear is pueden oir, no?
In the example: Estamos buscando una farmacia para comprar paracetamol.We are looking for a chemist to buy some paracetamol.Is a chemist a pharmacy or a pharmacist?
I'm trying to figure out if you need the personal a if it is just a particular person and not if it is the name of a person's job. So here, if chemist is a pharmacist, I don't use a personal a because it isn't a specific person.
OR.
If the personal a is for any person and here chemist is a pharmacy, not a pharmacist.
Thanks!
Tara
