In the test section it says: "Los profesores ___ con los padres de los alumnos"

I thought that should be 'charlaron' because it is an action in the past which has been completed but the system says it is 'charlaban'. 

Please explain?

Hello!  I'm not understanding why these cardinal points sometimes have a "r" and some have a "d" in the name (as bolded).  Can you explain this further?   ie: El sureste as south-east makes sense (literally south+east), but what is sudeste??

El sureste/sudeste = south-east

El suroeste/sudoeste = south-west

El noreste/nordeste = north-east

El noroeste = north-west

I don't understand the example sentence " Ninguna chica viajará contigo a ninguna parte". The tip says that you can only use the words "ningun" or "Ninguna" at the beginning of a sentence, so this example sentence does not make sense to me since " Ninguna" Is found towards the end of the sentence too. Thank you.

Excellent topic.  Just a small thing:  the word "family" is singular in English, as in "Your family is cool."

Based on the answer choices, shouldn't the mini-quiz questions "Her baby doesn't eat any fruit..."  read "My baby doesn't..."?

Hola Inma,

Can you help me with the following. The alternative answers given are:

Ten en cuenta que esta ...... / Ten presente que esta / Recuerda que esta / No olvides que esta

I can't understand why a subjunctive spelling of recordar (recuerde) isn't used. It is probably for an obvious reason but I'm missing it.

Saludos. John

Question:

Queda muy ________ arroz, no podemos hacer la paella.

Answer: poca

I understand the explanation of when to use poco/poca/pocas/pocos but I don't understand why in this circumstance it is feminine, because I thought arroz is masculine. Is 'arroz' actually feminine, or is it because 'la paella' is feminine? 

Can you explain why you use "the" in front of language, memory, and confidence?  las lenguas mejoran la memoria, aumentan la confianza  

Is it not correct to say "las nueces" in the sentence translated from "I like eating nuts and honey?"

Did I miss a lesson?  I notice in some of the examples Unas is in front of describing what the person is wearing such as  or buying Debo comprar unas camisetas verdes o
unas gafas elegantes..  and it does not translate, what is the rule
