I followed the hint (strong assumption) and used “deben de costar” and it was marked nearly right. I don’t understand.

Lesson link suggestion

In the explanatory pop-up for "Como se prepara una tortilla de patatas:" https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/revision/grammar/expressing-instructions-and-general-statements-with-the-impersonal-se-one.

I'll spend some time on this exercise because I find these uses of "se" to be very interesting.

Also this was my first encounter with "echa/echan." There does not appear to be a lesson dedicate to its conjugation, but there is this which seems to be sufficient: https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/revision/grammar/expressing-instructions-and-general-statements-with-the-impersonal-se-one.

Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"

Correct Test Question Response

I know a lot of people have brought up the fact that seguir + present participle and continuar + present participle have the same meaning, so they selected one answer which was marked as incorrect. I realize that the question specified that multiple answers could be correct but the fact that so many people were confused by this makes me think it wasn’t very clear. Maybe you should instead say “Select all of the correct answers” instead. Anyway, I do have an actual question - is there any subtle difference between the two, or any situations in which you would use one over the other? Does it vary by country or region? Just curious. Muchísimas gracias, y que tenga un buen fin de semana!

Meaning of habermeHola, I’m confused about haberme in: Después de haberme gastado una pasta in the “I failed” dictation. What would the meaning be with Después de haber gastado? What does haberme emphasize, I (me), or spending a lot? Muchas gracias, Shirley.

El Futuro Simple speculation

So when we say we 'wonder' in english we are also saying that we 'speculate'?

And how does that indicate the future when we are currently speculating? How does speculation imply the future? Is it that some result could eventually be revealed?

I see now, helps to write it out.

Could you also say, ". . . antes de haberle cenado." ? Is it a matter of emphasis?
