Puedo decir, “para conocer a uno de mis actores preferidos”, también?
The question is “where is. “ not “is there” surely the answer is está but you marked this as wrong
So ¿cómo está? is an incorrect answer for a child?
Don't remember ever hearing that one, only that it is okay to use the informal version with them.
Also you site is jumping past questions when I give the answer to a previous question, I know I should notice but your site shouldn't do that either.
It's happened a couple of time and I think I've done well on a test only to find out I didn't answer a couple of the questions.
Also there are drop downs that don't show some of the answer and lo and behold one of them is apparently the correct answer, which only confuses me because I end up picking the best sounding incorrect answer.
In Question 5 of the Test I have just completed, we had to translate: "She came near to where I was sitting" by inserting the correct word in the gap here: "Ella se acercó ________ yo estaba sentada". It did look to me as if movement was involved, so I chose "... adónde …" [plus the others which carried the accent] … But I was wrong !
Admittedly, when I clicked on "Explain this", I noticed this example:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which also involves movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

Thank You Inma ! ]
To me it seems like such a long process for gustar to become "natural".
I literally have to parse every gustar sentence so that the pronoun tells me who is being liked, the verb then tells who is being liked (not who is doing the liking!):
me gustas = by me you are liked = I like youte gusto = by you I am liked = You like meEven though the pronoun-object at the beginning tells who is doing the liking, that becomes the object in English. So, the verb ending confirms what the subject really is . . . Is there any easier way or does ease of use eventually come with familiarity?Doesn’t con nosotros refer to ourselves? In the table it says yourselves.
Thanks,
Shirley

“María’s family are happy” is given as the translation to “La familia de María está contenta”.
This didn’t sound right to me so I googled and found this- https://style.mla.org/verbs-with-collective-nouns/
The reference would suggest that the translation should be ”María’s family is happy” as the members of the family are in agreement.
Any comments would be helpful. Thank you.
The english text referred to great legends, so I chose gran, but it was marked incorrect. That seems to conflict with the answers given in the community.
