Pretérito imperfecto and indefinido

Before I did this exercise I studied the difference between these verb forms and still managed to get it wrong on almost every occasion. Not only am I not progressing, I'm actually getting worse. Thanks everyone for all your kind responses and help, it's much appreciated.

Re Lesson referred in your reply to Marco's question

Hola Inma,

I couldn't find the link for the lesson you referred to in your reply, despite doing a search here.

"Do we use "iba" to show intention?"

Could you please give me the link. And Happy New Year!

Thank you,

Nicole

Omission of object pronoun

The sentence "Now I want to repeat it!" is translated as ¡Ahora quiero repetir!

Why doesn't Spanish need an object pronoun here?

Gracias

incorrect to use the pronoun with "a" on its own without the second short pronoun

In the quiz, the statement was supposed to be correct: El director entregó un premio a los estudiantes.

However, the explanation seems to contradict that. Can you explain why?

It would be incorrect to use the pronoun with "a" on its own without the second short pronoun:

A mí diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.¿A tí regalaron tus padres una moto el año pasado?

'You' singular or plural?

I really enjoyed this passage, it even made me a little teary-eyed! The sentiment is lovely.

I just wanted to check...

Should the first sentence be using vosotros, i.e. Me recordáis a mi abuela, porque es que brilláis con luz propia como ella.

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the rest of the passage referring to two people?

Gracias de antemano 😊

Use of querría to say I would like.

Is querría actually wrong on this case to say "I would like to see the paintings"?

Voy, yo or me?

Hi, I was trying to make sure I translated something correctly and put the phrase “after school I go home” into a translator and it translated to “despues de la escuela me voy a casa” but the yo didn’t change to me when going other places. What caused the change?

Ser versus estar

y eso estaba bastante triste.

Isn't being sad a feeling, so why not "estar" instead of "ser"? Thanks.
