¿Señor Hernandez, ________ otra copa de vino?

I answered "quiere usted" and was marked wrong. It's ok, isn't it? 

Why is cambiar used with the preposition de and sometimes without? Is there any difference between the two ways of using cambiar?

The subjunctive is used in "Cuando tus hermanos lleguen será muy tarde." even though there is no intention to "make something happen" in the future.  Maybe that description should be added to, to make it more clear that future things that will happen anyway (there is no intent to change things) also trigger the subjunctive after "cuando"?

His family's situation saddens them. : ___ la situación de su familia.

How to say "something bores/annoys/saddens you"

La respuesta para esto es "les entristece" pero pensé que familia es singular?  Porque no es " le entristece"?

Gracias.

Hola,

I think "jugo de naranja y zanahoria" should be also an accepted answer because they seem to use the word "jugo" in Latin America.

Thanks,

These rules for verb tenses when using por si/por si acaso are really hard to keep straight.  Does it sound really awful to a native speaker if we get it wrong?

Hi,

I have mentioned before the speed at which some of the example sentences are said and I wondered whether it is structured.

I presume that this lesson is solely for A1 level students.  If so, there is a sentencs that is so fast that I cannot hear all of the syllables.  

In "Andrea juega al ..." I find it difficult to hear all of the syllables near the start of the sentence.

Could it be that the sentences are slowed for the lower levels and speeded up as we become more adept at listening to Spanish?

Sorry to complain but I find the course suits my needs and this tweak would make it even better for me.  I don't know whether others would agree.

Many thanks.

Colin

In an e-mail entitled: "A new error has been submitted by a user [#252851]", Laura Lawless today (4th May) asked me to repost this here:

Question 6 in the [first] 'StudyPlan' quiz which I did on 3rd May, required a translation for:

"You two, wash your hair!"

The 'vosotros' part was already provided for us, so I chose:
Vosotros dos, ¡A lavaros el pelo! 

However, I was marked incorrect, because you said that another possible option is:
Vosotros dos, ¡A lavarse el pelo!

>> But surely the "-se" suffix is not compatible with "vosotros"? … i.e., it has to be '-os', [only '-os', not both].
