I'm confused over the above example:  El banco nos dijo que firmáramos los documentos.

With the English translation provided (The bank told us to sign the documents), why is it not written as follows:

El banco nos dijo firmar los documentos.

What's confusing is the reason for the use of el imperfecto de subjuntivo in this example --- particularly with this English translation.

There seems to be no pattern regarding when the nationality/adjective is -es or -as. In this question, it women are -es. In other questions, it is-as Nosotras vivimos en Dublin pero Sokos portuguesas. What am I missing?

Question in A1 Focus Test

Mi vecina Patricia es ______.

Hola,

I put "maleduca" because it's a woman, it's singular and when "maleducar" is conjugated in El Presente, it comes up as "maleduca."  Why is it marked wrong? Why is "maleducada" the correct answer?

In relation to that, I don't feel the question has been covered well because we have not encountered that word previously and I cannot find it in any lessons on the Lawless website.

Gracias por la respuesta!
