When would you use this vs. the regular imperative? Are they exchangeable or is one preferred over the other under certain circumstances? 

May I ask why do you need to use imperfect tense for this sentence: Después de hacer el check-in, he comprado algo de ropa en la boutique porque no traía nada conmigo. 

I guess if we use prétérito perfect for the whole story it should be it as well.

Que son los deportes officiales en paraguay?

Cuando un hotel de cinco estrellas se te quede demasiado pequeño

I don't understand the function of 'se' in this phrase. Is it really incorrect to omit it?

I've checked the lesson on quedar(se) but don't see the rule here.

Gracias

In the lesson, I answered the question, Maria, ___ es bastante seria normalmente cantó en público ayer, with ,"la que".  It was marked incorrect, with "que" being shown as correct.  I thought they were interchange. 

with NOUNs the mas or menos is before the noun.

with verbs They are after the conjugated verb.

when used as a pronoun is after the noun it talking about.   Has words in front of it

and their might be a name for those sorts of words.

so the question are these kinda "rules"

A story I had a teacher and first words the son said was   "mas" talking about food.

I did struggle to understand why "se recordaba" was in the singular in "... solo se recordaba a los difuntos el 1 de noviembre" [= "the deceased were only remembered on November 1st"].

At first, I was tempted to make it plural to agree with "difuntos". As a passive construction, I thought it could be compared with "se venden apartamentos de lujo en la playa" - (given as one of the examples in Forming the Spanish passive with se (la pasiva refleja) ... which is the lesson we get referred to).

Anyway, I was also "scratching my head" regarding the use or non-use of the "personal 'a' " in a passive sentence of this nature - [Compare "Se buscan secretarias con experiencia" in that^ same lesson] ..

I then looked in my grammar book [by Butt and Benjamin], and discovered that this is part of a construction which evolved comparatively recently in the Spanish language - in which the use of the "personal 'a' " makes a singular verb necessary even when the [passive] subject is in the plural.  

Hello. Why we use "consiguieron", not "consiguyeron"? Thanks. Zuzana
