Keep in mind that this .....

Hola Inma,

Can you help me with the following. The alternative answers given are:

Ten en cuenta que esta ...... / Ten presente que esta / Recuerda que esta / No olvides que esta

I can't understand why a subjunctive spelling of recordar (recuerde) isn't used. It is probably for an obvious reason but I'm missing it.

Saludos. John

Nicaragua isn't a city

"Nicaragua está en el puesto número seis en la lista de ciudades seguras..."

This has me confused because Nicaragua is not a city. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the sentence?

Use of singular vs plural in SpanishI was taught, rightly or wrongly, that use of plurals in English in this type of sentence is typically translated as a singular in Spanish. Please provide feedback on this.

Letters of the alphabetIn the quiz this was the only question that I got wrong. That was because I did not understand the question and had never been told that all letters in the Spanish alphabet are feminine. Now I Know !

Collective mounds - singular or plural verb agreement

“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.

Is there a reason why the "octubre" entry is in bold type, or is that an error to be corrected?

en el mente de un tico, que significa "Pura Vida"?

So, pura vida is used instead of hola or cómo estás? How would one translate pura vida in a casual conversation? As "hello", "how are you" or as "awesome" or something else?
