Why isn’t this considered an action that started in the past and is still ongoing?
Why is the first al used? I thought al meant “to the” or “at the”. It doesn’t make sense to say, Ana loves to the man.
Thank you in advance for your help,

Why does the use the preterite perfect rather than the simple preterite?
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.
"if you want a sweetie, eat your soup". lol, to me, sweetie is sweetheart, or some other affectionate term. Sweet = caramelo.
Although the note on the question suggests the imperfect of Poder I think the translation should use the conditional, Podría rather than podía
Is there a way to save these lists to a notebook? This website is perfect otherwise. Thanks!
Why is it rey del vino instead of rey de vino?
I like to think back to how new structures build on previous ones. Are these sequences correct?
(1) las sandias grandes (large), las sandias más grandes (the largest), las sandias más grandes jamás cultivadas (the largest ever grown).
(2) el mejor vestido (the best), el mejor vestido jamás deseñado (the best ever designed)
Thanks.
