Blank exercise #2

You say "Ustedes" which is plural but you translate it as "you" in the singular in the answer, so the learner does not know which answer to choose.

Nosotros debíamos jugar al fútbol sin rodilleras

‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc

Great explanation!

Now I know that when I listen to native speakers or have to read their WhatsApp messages, I shouldn't assume that their lo / le / las usage is correct.

Test question uses "Nos impresiona que"

Test question uses "Nos impresiona que," with the subjunctive however this lesson referenced for the answer never discusses this grammatical construction. It would be good to add this to the lesson so there is no ambiguity.

Wrong lesson for this verbDudo mucho que ________esa película en el cine. I doubt very much that they are showing that movie at the cinema.(HINT: Conjugate "poner" in the ellos form in El Presente Subjuntivo )When you press Learn below the answer, the lesson is on conjugation of yo-go verbs. It should be Conjugate Poner in the present subjunctive.

getting on to do something

i read that ir + gerund can be translated as to get to do something.

I do not understand why would getting on to do something be related to the concept of doing something bit by bit, gradually?

Would getting on to do something more like getting ready to do something using estar para, estar por?

Hubieran vs. hubiesen

Hi. Was this marked wrong because I'm studying LA Spanish and chose "hubiesen aprobado" (used more in Spain) instead of "hubieran aprobado"? Thanks!

Ojalá ustedes ________ el examen final. I wish you had passed the final exam.(HINT: Use "ustedes" form to conjugate "aprobar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo)

que / la quien

Hi there,

For the question "Prefiero ir con Susana, ________ es más simpática" I answered "la quien". Your guide says that this is interchangeable (if more formal) than "que", but my answer was marked incorrect. Please can you explain?

Thanks
