Spanish language Q&A Forum

I get this message even after I click around for awhile:

You took this Kwiz 16 minutes ago.

This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.

Past tenses are confusing and these lessons do not have enough of an explainer.  In this Idefinite Past, I see:

Ella hizo una tarta para mi cumpleaños.She made a cake for my birthday.

But, under the Present Perfect lesson, I see:

He hecho un pastel de chocolate.I made a chocolate cake.

There is not enough information to distinguish between the two forms. I do not see the difference.  "I made a cake" and "she made a cake" are identical in format, yet different.  If both answers are correct- after all, there are often several ways to say the same thing, I think that needs to be reflected here if that is the case.

Can you explain?

as he gets older, he gets more attractive

Miguel tiene una novia y tu tienes

demasiada ( incorrect answer).  The correct answer is demasiadas

Miguel has one girlfriend and you have too many.

Una novia is singular so why is my answer demasiada wrong.

Creo que la mujer no dice bien el "ir" de Irlanda.

Why do you say que interesante and not como interesante

In the example, the direct object was being called for. Why use the "le" form, then?   

Good morning,

Could you please help me with the decision process for which tense to use for questions like:

- The journey was difficult.

- It was easy to learn the language.

Thank you very much!

Susan
