Your sample answer is “nosotros nos llamarse …… “ but you mark it as an incorrect answer in the quiz 

1. Instead of "para que seamos más felices", could we also say "para ser más felices"? - because the subject is the same in the two clauses?

2. With "Ojalá", you point us towards the lesson Using ojalá + the present subjunctive to express hope (El Presente de Subjuntivo) - which illustrates the use of the *present* subjunctive (when expressing a *future* idea). However, perhaps it would be worth emphasising that in this particular writing exercise ("Carmen"), the *imperfect* subjunctive has to be utilised because the speaker is not really referring to the future?

3. You give "al cual que podemos transformar con los pensamientos" as a possible answer, but should the "que" not be removed? - (or if it is permissible, then you should really mention that in the lesson Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns) ).

4. (Something very trivial !) > 'Nuestro' has lost its "r" in the Kviziq answer given as "Todos podemos cambiar nuesto modo de pensar".

The title of the page is:   forming el Imperfecto Progresivo con estar + gerundio  but the next paragraph jumps to the Pretérito Imperfecto:

“In the case of El Pretérito Imperfecto, this is how the progressive tense is formed.”

Is the pretérito imperfecto and the imperfecto progresivo the same tense, just a different name?

Thank you.

Instead of translating the English as a negation, translating it "as if you knew how to make a fried egg!" (for example), it's still completely clear that the response is meant to imply that the other person does *not* know how to fry an egg. I don't think this even qualifies as sarcasm.

Hi, I have a question about the grammar of this sentence. I apologize it doesn’t have to do with “aquella.” Just wondering  about the use of “estaba.” Why not “estuvo?” For something to be broken is that not permanent? Or is it because it was fixed that it “used to be broken”? Am I over thinking this?

I only get the same two questions and no matter how many times I answer them correctly, I never can get to 100%. How can I finish this subject?

As Michael says, pronouns are not easy. 

But why add to our misery by adding the ‘insignificant’ note regarding the position of pronouns with infinitives, imperatives and gerunds. That’s surely worth a lesson all of its own.
