"Mi padre no es ________ maestro".

The question is "my father is not THEIR teacher" - so why is the answer "su", why not "sus" when it is their not his/her?

When I put Yo entiendo instead of just Entiendo it was marked incorrect. Is it my error or a program error ?

Hola,

¡Nunca había oído la palabra 'velada' hasta ahora! Nunca sabía que había otra palabra para 'la tarde' o 'la noche'. ¿Hay una diferencia entre velada y tarde? ¿Podemos usar las dos?

Gracias

I have read all the correspondance around this lesson, but my problem has not surfaced. It is this:-

if 'mirar' is intransitive and needs pronoun 'a' before inanimate objects, then I don't have a problem. If, however, it is transitive and takes a direct object ( of inanimate objects ) then I cannot see why there is an indirect  object pronoun at all. Can you explain?

Maybe this meaning should be on the list as well, from your lesson that "dejar de" + infinitive means to stop doing something or give up something:

Using dejar de + [infinitive] = to stop doing something/to give up something

May I respectfully draw your attention to your example immediately under 'The accidental 'se' with olvidarse and suggest as a literal translation

'The keys have forgotten themselves to me'? This accounts for the perfect tense and the reflexive 'se'.

You also give examples of forgettibg things 'accidentally'.  Can one forget things 'on purpose'?

Hola Shui, Inma y Anna,

¡Estoy tan feliz con este reader! 

Muchísimas gracias

Are there more than 2 practice questions somewhere for each lesson? 

Hola,

This lesson seems very similar to continuar/seguir+[gerund] to me. Any particular differences in nuance between the two that we should look out for?

Gracias

I did the assessment test, and began the lessons. At the end of the two lessons I tried, there were two questions at the end. Two questions is not enough practice for me. Am I missing something ?
