Below is the text from the lesson explaining your options with "por si/por si acaso". All of the examples use the imperfect subjective, but the fact that was the only option wasn't really clear until I read through the comments/questions.

From the Lesson: They introduce a subordinate clause expressing a condition. They can be followed by the subjunctive or the indicative.

In the sentence "He usually participates..." the hint given was to use solar + inf, however, the answer given by Kwiziq for that phrase was "Normalmente participar...   Then, in the sentence "He usually wins medals" again the "hint" was to use "solar + inf" --- and the Kwiziq answer as "suele ganar..."

What was the translation of "usually" different in those two cases even though the "hint" provided was the same?

Kwizbot: Sin embargo, mis amigos contaron a los niños cuentos de miedo..

Why "historias de miedo" marked wrong after a los niños, is there any rule we have to just put cuneto instead of historia after 'a los niños'. Please answer.

She hates cats. Not THE cats. Why "los gatos" then?

Hi, Can you give some information about prepositions? Like: in, on, etc.

Why is it 'les' when referring to his family?

"los adultos les dan caramelos, monedas o aceptan el trato"

Did you intend "aceptan el truco" ?

La narradora dice “las pilas” pero el texto dice “la pilas”, y el programa te corrige si escribes “las pilas” en tu transcripción. Me gusta esta expresión que no conocía antes. Creo que ya la entiendo, pero tal vez merezca una pequeña nota. ¡Gracias!

I can't speak for Europe or Australia but I can tell you that in the U.S. no one is ever going to say, "We've seen the singer sign autographs to the fans." The correct construction for this verb is to sign autographs FOR fans...not to the fans. If I heard someone say  this I would assume they were not a native speaker of English. 

How am I supposed to choose the correct answers when the sentences and responses are all in English, not Spanish, and two of the English choices are the same?
