Spoken intonation

Are there lessons having to do with the pauses and intonation in Spanish speech? I guess I'm using English patterns to place commas and periods when transcribing spoken Spanish and am frequently wrong.

How would you say "You must study more."?

Would a correct answer to this also be ¿Se deben estudiar más?

Why no y in correct answer 20,354 = twenty thousand three hundred and fifty four= veinte mil trescientos cincuenta y cuatro

Notice how in Spanish we need toadd "y" between the tens and the units (cincuenta y cuatro). Three thousand six hundred and six.

(HINT: Write the number in letters in Spanish (not digits))Three thousand six hundred and six.(HINT: Write the number in letters in Spanish (not digits))Three thousand six hundred and six.(HINT: Write the number in letters in Spanish (not digits)) But there’s no y in this correct answer: Tres mil seiscientos seis

Is se optional?

It appears from your examples that “se” is optional, although I don’t see that explicitly stated. For example, “ Ayer me depilé las piernas.” doesn't have “se” in it.

Era/fue question

Hi Kwiziq experts,

In the phrase "Lo que más me gustó de la gastronomía local fue deleitarme con..." I wrote "Lo que más me gustó de la gastronomía local ERA deleitarme con..." I was marked wrong and corrected "era DELEITARSE con" and I'm not sure why that is. Is it down to whether one uses fue or era in the sentence?

Many thanks

Dee
