Kwizbot not changing lessons

Hi! The kwizbot is not changing the lessons even though I have gotten 100% on all 10 recommended lessons. He is only giving me A0 lessons and not introducing A1 lessons. How can I have the bot change lessons to something new to help me progress?

Did I conjugate wrong?

In one of my kwizzes, I got this one wrong. The correct choice was están for this sentence: "Mi padre están en el hospital" I chose está. Why is it wrong? Is it because está would be too informal when referring to parents? Or is this padre referring to a priest or something?

Why does the example sentence use Indefinido

I don't understand why Indefinido is used in the example; "Nos gustamos desde el primer momento." It has a definite starting point, but the sentence implies a continuing action. In this case could Imperfecto also be used correctly?

Can it go at the end of the sentence?

Hi,

Would this be acceptable?

Le apasionan las películas de los 50 a María

And, if so, is it commonly used?

Many thanks

Exclamation meaning

I don't understand the significance of !Qué bárbaro! in the second paragraph. It seems out of place in relation to the description of the dessert, but I'm sure I don't fully understand its meaning. According to my dictionary, it translates to "how barbaric" --- but why would it be characterized in that manner?

test question for "we only wanted to help you with our advice"One of the test questions is, "We only wanted to help you with our advice." And it asks which form of the verb querer is correct.

It says that the correct answer is "QUERÍAMOS". I don't understand why you don't use "quisimos". We wanted to help and actually did help, so it is a completed action.

infinitive compuesto and infinitive difference

there is another chapter where "Having done something" with the action as subject or direct object of a sentence using El Infinitivo Compuesto (= haber + participle)

How does it differ from using infinitive?

Fumar es malo para la salud

Haber fumado es malo para la salud

if I were to guess, I am guessing that using el infinitive compuesto is that, the action was indeed being carried out where as using infinitive is just a general statement. the person we are warning regarding smoking is bad, did not smoke.

Whereas if the person indeed smoke, we will say haber fumado es malo para la salud

Progressive contradiction

This very lesson says that 'normalmente' signals the simple present, the so-called correct answer was the progressive.
