To say sth is protected, are está and es interchangeable or is one preferred than the other?
I read elsewhere that when quedar is used to express the idea of ending up in an emotional or physical state, it does not require reflexive pronoun. Is this accurate ? So if I have a scenario of 2 persons fighting and the one of them left a mark on the second and it left him standing still from the shock. Do we use ‘se queda inmóvil’ or ‘queda inmóvil’ ?
for the last part of the notes, it says deber conjugated in indefinitivo does not mean the same thing. Am I right to say that this structure is only for present tense of saying something should have been done? how do we say such meaning in past tense? something should had been done?
How to distinguish when to use direct pronouns and when indirect?
This is another one incorrectly graded. My answer was criáis, which is the correct Vosotros translation, yet is marked wrong.
There is a hole in your explanation.
You say:
"In sentences where the indirect object is represented by "a + pronoun", and it is at the beginning of the sentence...."
but you do not explain what happens if "a + pronoun" is at the end of the sentence.
Is the indirect object pronoun required or optional in that case?
eg: Can "Me lo ha comprado a mí." be written as "lo ha comprado a mí."?
Regards,
Fred.
Why does sentence need A at the beginning? (The other examples don’t have it).
Thanks very much

The word "la" is missing in the phrase "la fauna y __ flora."
It would be nice to be able to slow down the speed of speech throughout the site. This could be done in 2 ways.
(1) a fast or slow option could be available in the user profile to be toggled at will and would affect all spoken Spanish played aloud
(2) Where ever a speaker icon exists in quizzes, where the individual sentences are played aloud, two speaker icons could be provided, one for slow and one for fast.
It would be soooo helpful
