Another column with examples

Would be great to have another column in the table above with example sentences, or just the verb in action.

I know e.g. how to use "doler" -> me/te/etc. duele, but I don't know it for e.g. "caer bien".

That way I wouldn't need to change the tab and tell ChatGPT to write down the examples.

Además, Ken Follet la usó

In the test, we are asked to translate 'Also, Ken Follet used it (to write his literary works)'. At first, I translated it as 'Ken Follet la usa', but then I noticed I was being specifically asked to construct a sentence using 'se'. Assuming a passive sentence was required, I put 'Además, se usó por Ken Follet', but was corrected with 'Además, Ken Follet la usó'. Surely, there is something not quite right here?

Verb translation

Verb translation. According to my Spanish dictionary, the verb "colgar" means to hang whereas "upload" is cargar. I used the latter verb, because the sentence is "... I will upload a photo on my social networks." Why was my response marked incorrect?

Sentir or Sentirse?

I came across a sentence in a book I was reading and it said,

"ya no se sienten ganas de beber"

I understand "ganas" as a noun meaning that they are stating they do not have the "desire" to drink I think.

Why is sentirse used instead of sentir when "ganas" is the direct object?

Thank you

Comida francesa.... sea salad*o* (?) o dulce

I just took a quiz that included this (correct) answer: "ya sea salado o dulce" to complete the sentence "Me encanta la cocina francesa...." Why doesn't the 1st adjective change to agree in gender with "cocina"? I picked it anyway, as there was no option with "salada" (and it was the best available option) but it still struck me as incorrect.

When I find my car keys

Hola 😊

I translated the above as Cuando me encuentre las llaves. I was marked wrong, the answer is said to lack the "me". I think without the "me" they could be anybody's keys. Am I wrong?
