Arreglándose para la fiesta, alguien llamó a la puerta.
While getting ready for the party, someone knocked on the door.
In English I believe this is incorrect. The gerund refers to the subject in the other sentence, so this sounds as if whoever knocked on the door was also getting ready for the party.
In Spanish if it is correct - how do we know it refers to ella? Based on context?
I may have missed something here.
Is their happiness a permanent thing?
Shouldn't it be, "estamos más felices?"
Thanks in advance,

Hello, in last weeks B1 written weekend workout, this sentence was presented as the correct answer
"y dejé el resto de mis cosas guardadas en la taquilla"
I am trying to work out the verb and tense for "guardadas", but it has defeated me. I know it's somthing to do with "guardar" but the configuration isn't familiar to me.
Thanks
I thought that Os was the pronoun for vosotros in this lesson so now I am confused how to use Os since it is not used in Mexico and the lesson did not explain it. I appreciate your help with this
Can you sometimes omit the first subjunctive and just use e.g lo que sea instead of sea lo que sea ? Ive read some texts online and they don't seem to write the full version, does it have slightly different nuance/meaning?
I've read so many times about the difference between these tenses but It's like banging my head against a wall. "el taxi LLEGÓ veinte minutos tarde y el taxista ERA muy antipático. The taxi driver was unfriendly in the imperfect tense in the same taxi that arrived late in the preterite tense. This is so difficult.
Just want to clarify:
We say “a las cuatro de la tarde”.
Are there any other prepositions that we use with specific times?
It seems like one of the quiz questions and the examples you give for past participles use the pretérito perfecto for what should be the pretérito indefinido as translated from English. Examples: we wouldn’t say I’ve written to my girlfriend if we wanted to say I wrote to my girlfriend or I’ve returned from work for I returned from work. Please explain why the perfecto is used in the statements and not the indefinido.
