Para + Infinitive with the same subject / Using "Ojalá" with the Imperfect subjunctive/ Maybe two typos?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.

This one to me does not mean 'to want someone to', but 'to want something done'. So I think, 'Todos queremos el problema se resuelva pronto' is enough.
I continue to take tests on this lesson but am not given credit for correct answers up to 100%. Please assist me. Thank you.
hola
________ digo siempre lo que pienso.I always tell him what I think.I answered 'lo' thinking that it was the direct object but the answer was 'le'Is 'lo que pienso' the direct object and 'him' the indirect object?
as a note , I never recieve email notifications of answers - so sometimes miss themthanks for your help
We can't use the gerund as an adjective...so why is there "casas colgando"? Isn't it the gerund here?

Porque “..era un caballero medieval” pero “fue un héroe nacional..”
I interpret "es" as "is", so how/why is "He" assumed for "Es un excelente actor." -> "He is an excellent actor"?
Hi,
Es esencial que haya un acuerdo entre ellos
1)It is essential that THERE IS an agreement between them. Using "there is" rather than "come". What do you think? Come implies in the future.
2)Why is "los pájaros irán HAYA donde comida" Why HAYA in the subjuntive
What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.
