Weekend Workout - My new couch (A1)

Hello,

In this workout there is a sentence - 'I have a new couch' the spanish translation in the answer and the complete text at the end it 'tengo sofá nuevo', should it be 'tengo un sofá nuevo'? I did notice that the lessons recommended for this section did include the lesson for indefinite articles.
Thanks, but now my wife wants a new sofa :-(

Does this issue apply outside of Spain?

As if Spanish doesn’t involve enough ambiguous distinctions (par vs. para, ser vs. estar, pretérito indefinido vs imperfecto, etc., etc.). Does this issue (perfecto vs. I defy) pertain to Spanish usage outside of Spain? Spoken as well as written Spanish? Me vuelve loco. Español es como una mujer ambigua, seductora, y mandona . Bellísima y llena de contradicciones, me vuelve loco

Thanksgiving Day sentence: we were very happy.Hola, Re: we were very happy. Kwizbot nos pusimos muy felices. You nos pusimos muy feliz. When I answered this, I wondered if I should put “felices” or “feliz”. I opted for “feliz” because I felt it was the “state” of being happy, and therefore would be invariable. Is this a possibility? And if so how to tell the difference? Thank you so much, Nicole

It seems like there is one more possible correct answer

I don't understand why "Ya había" + participle is not a correct answer in both cases. Looking at the examples it seems it is a possible answer.

Gusta/Gustan

Can I ask you that when a thing and a thing (singular noun) or a thing and things (singular noun and plural noun)... followed verb "gustar" like listing, gusta or gustan is right?

For example:

1. Me (gusta/gustan) el chocolate y la golosina.

2. Me (gusta/gustan) el chocolate y las golosinas.

3. Me (gusta/gustan) las golosinas y el chocolate.

Thank u so much

What should I do?

Hi, I had a question about the translation for "What should I do?". In this exercise, it said the correct translation was "¿Qué hago?", but wouldn't "¿Qué debo hacer?" also be correct?
