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 was reading along and halfway through it struck me that I was understanding every word easily. Wow! I was so pleased with my progress and then . . . I realized I was reading the Background segment which is in English!!! ¡Qué avergüenza!
¿A alguien más le ha pasado eso? Oh well, back to the grind . . .
And now, having read-along with the audio, and failed in trying to figure out where the text related to the audio, it's almost enough to make me grab a plane and head for Seville. Well, a little more vocab and I'll be hot to trot . . .
Question on why the final bit "we were a little dizzy" should be conjugated in imperfect rather than simple past. I imagined that one moment in time when "we were dizzy" should be the opposite. I get that estar is often conjugated in imperfect, but this seems a lot like one moment that's no longer taking place, encapsulated in the past, not continuing and not one that lasted long (given that "we were *a little* dizzy.") Help please?
I disagree strongly with the solution given on this question, and it seems to go directly against your own "quick lesson" if the answer is "era" -- the time frame is known and relevant because the palace was the home of a king with a specific reign, which would be known. Explícalo, por favor!
I notice all the caer examples used reflexive pronouns except the following example :
El árbol cae encima de la casa.
The information indicates that reflexive pronouns are generally used with caer, so I'm wondering if the above sentence also correct as follows:
El árbol se cae encima de la case.

What is the difference?
This is my first lesson at B1, (yay) but it seems to assume i ready know the subjunctive conjugations. Should I just skip it, and wait until I get lessons on the subjunctive?
If the main clause uses a tense that implies a past action, for example El Pretérito Indefinido or El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto,then the por si/por si acaso clause uses a past tense.
Habríamos is conditional tense
for this story, can i say 'el clima era bueno.' to replace 'Hacía buen tiempo' ?
Hello,
It may be helpful to add "sobrante" as well as "enrollar" to the words to look up.
Thanks,
