I think it should be noted that there are some additional adverbs which can be combined with de:

cerca (de)

adelante (de)

arriba (de)

Please confirm/update?

I've listened over and over and can't hear the Y in "José y María". 

Is it not there or am I just unable to hear it? 

When the noun ends in a consonant or the vowel -e  we tend to keep the whole word and add -cillo, -cilla, -cillos, -cillas. Hola, the lesson on the suffix cito etc says it applies to words ending in e. So which would be the correct suffix to add to Quijote? cito or cillo? Muchas gracias, Shirley. 

The lesson says, " This happens in one of these two situations. But, it appears from the examples and the quiz that aunque is followed by the preterite imperfect subjunctive only if both a) an action in the past and b) the information is shared by the speaker and the listener.

Why use estaba when saying “I was very calm and happy”? It didn’t seem like an ongoing action in the past but one defined by “after my swim”. Why not estuve?

sometimes the answers come back in English instead of spanish.  How can I fix that?

¡ejercicio estupendo! are there any more of those tests/reading/listening exercises?

Hi, why is preterite used here instead of the imperfect? The preterite implies that Ustedes no longer exist.
