Hello,

The last sentence in this quiz confuses me.

I understood that estar is used with feelings such as “be happy” as it is temporary. But with this “goal” after “para” you have used ser.

Please would you explain why this “to be” is ser?

Thank you.

Using hemanita rather than hermana pequeña

I would have written the correct answer but I thought I'd try using 'hermanita' is it sounded more loving to me. Would that be incorrect?

Hola,

Al final del párrafo, encontramos la frase "Finalmente, la gente no irá a la oficina y trabajarán desde casa". ¿Porqué es "trabajarán" y no "trabajará", si sabemos que el sujeto de la frase es "la gente"?

Muchas gracias,

Amy

The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast even for advanced students

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

Why is "Tu' enciendes" not correct for Question 10?Kwizbot says the correct answer is "Enciendes." I don't know why adding the pronoun Tu' makes my answer incorrect.¿ ________ la chimenea?Can you light the fire in the fireplace?(HINT: Use "tú' form for conjugating "encender" in El Presente)

In your example: "Esa chica me parece de lo más insensata" you used a feminine adjective?
