In the lesson it says convertirse en and hacerse can both be used to talk about a career change with the former indicating a more drastic change. However in the quiz both answers are listed (for a sentence about a career change) but only hacerse is marked as being correct. 

Hello, in this listening exercise, the pronunciation of the word "celebran" is helebran or similar, is this common?  Thanks

"Cada verano en Carballiño, Galicia, el segundo domingo de agosto celebran la feria del pulpo"

II want to know the name of the wordthat goes with haber to form phrases dado estado etc

Helpful maybe to think of salvo que, a no ser que, a menos que (and sin que) followed by subjunctive as implying a NOT. A conditional : Unless = If not.

Instead of using the 'double negative' in "espero que no haya ningún accidente porque si no ..." - could we also say: "espero que no haya ningún accidente porque si lo hay, será peor"? - i.e., arguing that it sounds clearer to word it as: "I hope that there is no accident, because if there is [one] then it will be [even] worse"...  In English, certainly, some thought would be necessary in order to work out the meaning of: "I hope that there is no accident, because if not then it will be [even] worse". I suppose this is really just a 'matter of taste' -[in both languages? - I have the impression that double negatives are a complicated topic in Spanish].

this is a helpful lesson with good examples.

but I’m confused.  the lesson says:  The verb is conjugated in the 3rd person singular or plural, according to the subject in the sentence.

aren’t the singular or plural things the objects of the sentences?

Several of my answers in several tests are misrecorded. I answered one way and it says I answered something else. What's going on?

Also, you should have explained that capitalizing, punctuation and accents must be correct. I was marked wrong for not putting a period at the end nd not capitalizing at the beginning. I don't mind but I would like to have known before i took the test.
