English sounds clumsy________ este cuadro en el dormitorio grande. Let's hang this picture on the big bedroom.
Hi, “on the big bedroom” doesn’t make sense in English. “In the big bedroom” makes sense and/or “on the wall in the big bedroom”. Shirley.

question said I was wrong when I wasn'tEsta ________ mi antigua escuela.This used to be my old school.(HINT: Conjugate irregular “ser” in the imperfect past/El Pretérito Imperfecto. Example: "ella tenía" = she had/used to have)

Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".

Miguel necesitaba unos medicamentos y compró ________ en la farmacia.

I answered "alguno," but apparently the answer is "algunos." I don't understand why based on this quote from the lesson. Thanks!

"Sometimes, when alguno and alguna are used in affirmative sentences, it has the nuance of "some random something/someone", "one or two" or "the odd one". The idea is non-specific in number and can refer to one or more items. It does agree in gender but not in number: even if it refers to a plural noun, the pronoun is in the singular form, not the plural form."

Problems with the exercise

in the hints you define "terrorífico" as meaning "terrifyingly" but then in the translation you count that as wrong and use "terrorificamente" instead.

you say "some fake drops of blood" but a better English translation would be "drops of fake blood". The drops are real; the blood is fake.

Olíamos aLos vecinos hicieron una barbacoa y select ... oliéramosolíamosoleríamosolimos toda la comida deliciosa desde nuestro jardín. (The neighbours had a barbeque and we could smell all the delicious food from our garden.) I would like to ask why the preposition "a" is not used?

Ningunas/os for nouns that are always pluralThe explanation of the use of ningunas/os seems to have changed. "The plurals ningunos and ningunas also exist, but they are quite rare and add an emphatic sense to the negation." I think it used to say that they are used for nouns that are always plural such as, las gafas. Did this change? Is the "always plural" usage still correct in addition to adding emphasis?

Why is está used for the sentence La mahonesa está deliciosa?

Is it because they're speaking about that specific mayonnaise rather than mayonnaise in general?
