I get this message a lot :

You took this Kwiz 2 days, 20 hours ago.

This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.

really are the subjunctive cases all that important to the idea of the narrative? the tense does not matter. the thought she is processing is entirely subjunctive
and accumulative: both backward, present and forward looking. She faces a complicated decision and does not take it lightly so she considers the established
track record of the relationship, family and social pressures to marry, and whether this situation meets her needs.

Hola Inma,

"se originó en la región de Río de la Plata" 

My answer was:

fue originado en la región de Río de la Plata. 

No entiendo la diferencia.  ¿Me podrías explicar?

Saludos

In Thea question in the quiz, they give you the hint to conjugate hacer in el conditional simple which I did but my answer was marked as wrong. Can you explain why please?  Thank you

Hi,

In many lessons and responses to questions, I have read that when deciding if you are to use imperfecto or indefinido, it is up to how the speaker thinks about the event. If the speaker thinks the event had a clear start and end, you should use indefinido, and if not you use imperfecto. Does this mean that it is entirely up to the speaker to decide which past tense is correct? I understand that there are situations where it is clear which is right and wrong, but I feel like in many cases it is a bit more ambiguous.
