I incorrectly answered "para" because there was a specific time of day in the sentence.  I am thinking that was not correct if this translates (loosely) as "sometime in the morning I eat breakfast at 9am".  So a/en/por would be correct for this?

Why use estaba when saying “I was very calm and happy”? It didn’t seem like an ongoing action in the past but one defined by “after my swim”. Why not estuve?

¿Podría ser correcto usar ambas verbos en el pretérito indefinido para decir algo diferente? 

Por ejemplo "cuando vine a casa, ví el nuevo coche" en vez de "cuando venía a casa, ví el nuevo coche", para decir que lo ví inmediatamente después de que hubiera llegado (una acción cumplida, no interrumpida). 

Eso me parecería lógico y algo similar sí se puede usar en inglés, pero  ¿tiene sentido o es correcto en Español, o hay una forma distinta de decir algo así?

Espero que lo haya explicado suficiente claro... Muchas gracias.

Three of the verbs have another word in front of them.  Please tell me about these words.

there is this sentence = the deceased were only remembered on November 1st.

the answer is = solo se recordaba a los difuntos el primero de noviembre.

But is using acordarse acceptable as well? 

= solo se acuerdaba ?

second question is that, for a few years = unos pocos años or pocos años.

can we use unos cuentos años or un par de años?

i do not understand why one is preferred over the other.

by the way, the audio seems to have some problems as i cant play it.

thanks

Under the listening practises, there are some being read by a male speaker but is the accent of this male speaker from Spain? it seems like he has an unique accent that is unidentifiable.

What kind of accent is he having, may i ask?

And i have tried to post questions directly under the exercises but wont able to and received an error code 500. 

We were told to form an adverb you take the feminine form and add 'mente' so it would effectively be 'Amente' So why does it say fuertamente is wrong, it's fuertEmente? 

It is ok to respond back with "Y tu tambien" when someone says to me in Spanish "Que tengas un buen fin de semana."

"-¿A ________ vamos a ver esta noche? -A Luis y Gerardo."

I wrote 'quién' because I thought the questioner wouldn't necessarily know that they would be seeing more than one person. That answer was marked wrong.  Would we normally use the plural when asking about an unknown number of persons?

EDIT: I just looked at the question again and see that there was a hint (which I managed to miss) about which PLURAL to use,  but my question about which we would normally use still stands.
