question said I was wrong when I wasn'tEsta ________ mi antigua escuela.This used to be my old school.(HINT: Conjugate irregular “ser” in the imperfect past/El Pretérito Imperfecto. Example: "ella tenía" = she had/used to have)

Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".

Omission of "some" for "unos"

In the test question, "Rafael y Julio son unos chicos muy . . . ," The English translation omits the "some" (unos). I wonder why that was done. Was it to show that "unos" is always added in the given Spanish usage? I would be interested in any corresponding lesson.

I cannot see how this reading and listening exercise can help me practise que + El Presente de Subjuntivo to express a wish/command

Am I being dumb?

Why did the narrator use "somos" and not "estamos"?

I may have missed something here.

Is their happiness a permanent thing?

Shouldn't it be, "estamos más felices?"

Thanks in advance,

Kaly
