Los niños, jugando en el parque, nos recordanban a nuestra infancia.

The boys, playing in the park, reminded us of our childhood.

hello 

when to use (la) or (lo) to refer to a person? if she or he is the direct object? because of the quiz had cases for la and lo, i would properly mixing them with le. 

Regarding complex grammatical explanations: flowcharts and decision trees would be incredibly helpful adjuncts to the explanations given. The human brain responds more easily to visual representations of complex logic than it does to textual explanations. That is why they are so prominently used in science and mathematics. Just sayin'

In: Level B2, Verbs Tenses & Conjugation, Modo indicativo, Modo subjuntivo, Oración subordinada temporal

1. Cuando is always used with past tenses in the indicative ….
2. If we use past tenses in the subjunctive with Cuando …

There appears to be a direct contradiction above: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement #1, it is stated that Cuando must be in the indicative mood
in statement #2, it is stated that Cuando may be in the subjunctive mood.

I don't understand the difference between hubo and habia. They seem to mean the same thing. What is the difference between them and when do you use one as opposed to the other.

I know what this means, as I have read elsewhere that "to conquer" in this sense means "to win over" or "to attract", but to conquer out of context is a bit middle ages! Is this still used in Spain "by the youth" or have any other phrases replaced it?
Thanks

Hola Inma,

Me muy alegro que tú eres mi profesora.  Me estoy divirtiendo mucho todas las noches pero el nivel b2 no es muy fácil especialmente con respecto al modo subjuntivo. Mi progreso es mucho más lenta que antes.

Gracias, James

Hi

For this phrase;

Se necesitan médicos con experiencia en ese hospital.

My instinct would be to translate it as necesitan - the same as English 'they need - but I normally look at Spanish nouns like Hospital & Gente as singular - so I might say "se necesita médicos". What is up with my logic here? Ta
