Hello,

It may be helpful to add "sobrante" as well as "enrollar" to the words to look up.

Thanks,

Should I add "estar + gerund" to list of verbs that act like Gustar? 

I don't understand.

I am confused about the verbs 'oir' and 'escuchar'

Would it be "estoy escuchando music" o "estoy oyendo musica" are both correct?

Does it matter when you use which?

This rule does not work with amable.  If you do an exercise on superlatives with a question on "amable" before you read the lesson on -co, -go, -ble, and -z endings you will make a mistake. Perhaps this lesson should should point out that -ble endings  are an exception.  

Of course I will always remember the rule now after spending some time trying to discover why  "amablísimos" was wrong.

"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?

How can I get private Spanish lessons?

This is more of a complaint that a question. There is confusion in tense nomenclature. What is often referred to here as Pretérito Perfecto is really Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto.  

The Pretérito Perfecto Simple is referred to Pretérito Indefinido.  The action in the Pretérito Perfecto Simple has definitely been "perfected".   When doing quizzes quickly I often make a mistake when the Pretérito Perfecto is asked for. It would be nice if a uniform terminology were used in the teaching of Spanish
