Having read your reply to David I'm still a bit lost. Many of the phrases were translated in the past tense for example "We lit the fireplace" and "we sat in front of it" etc but all took the pretérito perfecto because they occurred today "Hoy". However, "We loved seeing how the firewood was consumed" was the only phrase given in the pretérito indefinido and expanded in the imperfecto.

There must be something about the phrase that calls for this construction. Can you give me a pointer?

Saludos. John

Gender for first in a group

In this sentence from the exercise: "Él es muy famoso, expone en muchas galerías y museos y tiene muchos premios."

The word "muchas" is feminine, but since it seems to include "museos" I was thinking it might be "muchos". Is it a rule that the first in a series determines the gender, or was this done to say "many galleries and (some) museums"?

Use of imperfect subjunctive

Hola

Why is the imperfect subjunctive used, as it is not a repeated or continued action?

Many thanks

Question about other titles

Mi duda tiene que ver con el título "Madre" (junto con Padre, Hermano, Hermana), por ejemplo, en el caso de referirnos a "(la) Madre Teresa de Calcutta". ¿Es correcto utilizar el artículo con los títulos religiosos aparte de los títulos "San" y "Santa"? Muchas gracias de antemano.

In the statement: "Nosotros solemos comer en casa de mis padres los domingos."

Thanks.
