Unclear translationSusana trabajaba muy duro.Susana worked very hard.
I think the English translation should be "Susana used to work very hard".

Past Continuous

Yesterday I was visiting my friend Jimena.

The best answer is:

Ayer estuve visitando a mi amiga Jimena.

Is it incorrect to say estaba visitando OR visitaba ?

I can't find any lessons on the differences.

Gracias

Con el no me divierto. Why isn't the explanation logical?

I get it. Le is not the correct answer for a reason, but not the reason given in the lesson examples. Just because the preposition "con" is always followed by a subject pronoun is insufficient explanation. It implies that "con" was already a given, but it was not. I believe that "le" is an indirect object/pronoun and therefore not correct.

Unnecessary or wrong?

Are you saying that it's unnecessary to include the direct object pronoun or that's it's incorrect to include it?

Are these uses of salir correct?

I noticed these uses of salir in the examples and want to double-check if they are correct.

salir=to go out

salir de un lugar=to leave a place

salir por=to leave through

salir a infinitivo=to go do an activity

salir con alguién=to go out with someone

There may be a lesson on the different meanings of salir that I don’t know about. Thanks.
