Imperfecto usage1) Why is imperfecto used: Pues que me apetecía . She was feeling like at the moment, not an ongoing feeling no?
2) y entre ellos había una pareja de jóvenes.. Why is the imperfecto used in this aspect? The couple were only there AT that time, it's NOT a habitual or repetitive action that they are there every time shes at the beach?
3) ¡No me lo podía creer! , why use the imperfecto here?
4) Después me di cuenta de que en ese grupo había un hombre haciendo fotos y un chico con un foco. Entonces comprendí que los jóvenes eran modelos y estaban trabajando en una sesión de fotos The imperfecto used is because it's sequential?
5) Estoy segura de que estaban muertos de frío. The models were ONLY cold at that moment, why not "estuvieron muertos de trio"
6) . El solo llevaba un bañador y ella un bikini. Why not just "Llevaron" they don't wear a bikini or beach short every time they go to the beach? Only at that moment for the photo shoot?
Thank You in advance !

The lesson says that sentences can't start with "en cambio", but it also says that "en cambio" can be preceded by a full stop (which I understand to be a period). Am I missing something? Thanks!
"I am a Gemini" would be a better English translation for this exercise. I use standard American English. :)
Hi kwiziq team! Would "no puedo encontrar las llaves" also sound "un-spanish" to a Spanish speaker? Or could I say that as an alternative form?
Thank you as always!
Good morning,
Could you please help me with the decision process for which tense to use for questions like:
- The journey was difficult.
- It was easy to learn the language.
Thank you very much!

we can say: Would you mind me raising my price for the following packages you buy
we can say: Would you mind me raising my price for the following packages you are buying/ you are going to buy/ even: you will be buying, but:
iI don´t think we can say: Would you mind me raising my price for the following packages you WILL buy
can we? why?
If using the indicative or subjunctive is completely interchangeable without affecting the meaning, what are the reason(s) for choosing one over the other? Can you give some examples?
"Lo de que" can be followed by the indicative or subjunctive, without changing the meaning of the sentenceSiempre he oído Día de LOS Muertos.
why does it show the numbers instead of spelling out the numbers?
