The lesson says that gustaría is only used in the third person singular. However, what if the things that would be liked are nouns, not verbs. Wouldn’t the plural be used to reflect this, as an example “nos gustarían unas cervezas” - we would like some beers?

Hello, 

I am reading a fairly reputable bilingual version of Sherlock Holmes. On one sentence it says 'Iba vestido discretamente con un traje de mezclilla de lana....'

The translation (and my own reading of the context) suggests that this means 'He was discretely dressed....'

But if that's the case why have they used 'iba'? Is that incorrect? The man was not 'going to do' anything. He just 'was'. My searching online and using Google translate suggests that only estar (or possibly ser) in the past tense are valid here, not ir.

Thanks!

En la frase, "que si unas almejas", no entiendo porque utilizamos 'si' y no 'son'. 

Small point here. Lesson states " Faltar a un lugar means not to assist" . 

To assist in English translates to AYUDAR.

Should read FALTAR A UN LUGAR means not to be present. or not to attend, in this context.

What is the responses for De donde es usted

I both love and hate in equal measure that I woke up today to new lessons being posted!!  I've been trying to get the elusive 100% for level A2 and then another sneaky lesson arrived.  I know language learning is a never ending story, but....
Thanks kwiziq team :-)

2nd example above is  'Cuanto menos te vea, mejor'

Why subjunctive?

Hello,

If I'd to say: "His name is Francisco, but we call him Paco", would it be right to say: "Se llama Francisco pero nosotros se llamamos Paco"?
