Thanks for explaining, shirley.

just want to thank you for all the free material. literally any grammar question i have is somewhere on this site. I've been using it silently for 2 years now

Too often I have found the “hints” to be problematic in that I am thrown off by them. For example, in this lesson one hint was “Lit: "At 2 I have lunch with dehydrated foods" lunch = almuerzo, foods = alimentos."  Assuming “Lit” means “literally”, the literal translation should have been “A las dos tengo almuerzo con alimentos deshidratados” NOT “tomo” or “como”. I do know that "tomar" is used when referring to food, but the so-called "hint" threw me off on this one!

In this construction, can the "se" also go at the end of the infinitive, like this:

    No debe fumarse.

?

Thanks!

The sentence was "watch one of his movies" . I used "mira". The software Use "ve".  Give me a break!!

It seems like one of the quiz questions and the examples you give for past participles use the pretérito perfecto for what should be the pretérito indefinido as translated from English. Examples: we wouldn’t say I’ve written to my girlfriend if we wanted to say I wrote to my girlfriend or I’ve returned from work for I returned from work. Please explain why the perfecto is used in the statements and not the indefinido. 

We were told to form an adverb you take the feminine form and add 'mente' so it would effectively be 'Amente' So why does it say fuertamente is wrong, it's fuertEmente? 

Unless this is a britishism I am unfamiliar with, I think you mean "review" instead of "revise".

So ¿cómo está? is an incorrect answer for a child?

Don't remember ever hearing that one, only that it is okay to use the informal version with them.

Also you site is jumping past questions when I give the answer to a previous question, I know I should notice but your site shouldn't do that either.

It's happened a couple of time and I think I've done well on a test only to find out I didn't answer a couple of the questions.

Also there are drop downs that don't show some of the answer and lo and behold one of them is apparently the correct answer, which only confuses me because I end up picking the best sounding incorrect answer.
