When movement is involved - adónde / adonde ? In Question 5 of the Test I have just completed, we had to translate: "She came near to where I was sitting" by inserting the correct word in the gap here: "Ella se acercó ________ yo estaba sentada". It did look to me as if movement was involved, so I chose "... adónde …" [plus the others which carried the accent] … But I was wrong !
Admittedly, when I clicked on "Explain this", I noticed this example:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which also involves movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

Should I add "estar + gerund" to list of verbs that act like Gustar?
I don't understand.

What is the responses for De donde es usted
In the "Examples and Resources" section I found this incorrect translation:
En la mañana ordeno mi dormitorio.
In the afternoon I tidy up my bedroom."An impersonal statement in Spanish, e.g. "Es bueno que...", "Es importante que..." can be followed by the infinitive", no está correcta, según se puede leer más abajo en el texto.
In this example, "El dinero no es todo pero ayuda muchísimo" , I want to use "sino que" since the rule states that "If we need a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino, then we need to add "que" after sino."
I am a bit confused.

In the example Nosotros podemos salir antes del trabajo temprano hoy, wouldn't it mean the same thing to say Nosotros podemos salir del trabajo temprano hoy.
Sorry, i found the answer in the lesson.

Doesn't I've already returned e.g. I have returned imply Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto, e.g Ya he vuelto
