Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."

But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms".  Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.

Have I understood the lesson correctly?

Sometimes the English is contrived to make a point in relation ta a specific lesson.  These can be quite false.  To say Alvaro is working in a bar this summer  means it is now summer and that is what Alvaro is doing.  If asked:  "What is Alvaro going to be doing this summer?" the response could well be : " He's workking in a bar this summer" meaning that is what he is going to do. 

Why not give the English as " Alvaro is going to work" OR " is going to be working in a bar this summer". ?.  it is less artificial and makes much more sense.  (And is less irrtating)

Traer is shown as meaning "to bring," but the conjugated examples translate as "is bringing" or "are bringing." How did the "ing" forms get in there?

Hi, a suggestion: “This is to preserve the hard G sound from the infinitive”. (The Spanish G sounds like the jota when it comes before an E or and I: G+E: gente (people), recoger (to collect), alegra (happy) G+I: digital (digital), girasol (sunflower), elegir (to choose)).

i understand unos cuantos and unas cuantas mean a few

but i found out the translation of a few days is algunos días and not unos cuantos días.

What is the reason behind it?

Thanks

Hello, in this exercise, the first sentence has two uses of "que", the first one does not trigger the subjunctive, but the second one does. I think it may be a useful teaching point if you could explain to me which of the many subjuntive rules apply here.  Many thanks
