Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the test question, How would you say "I have eaten only fruit for a week."?, the answer was Desde hace una semana solo como fruta.

But I chose Desde hace una semana solo he comido fruta. Why isn't that one correct, given the "have eaten?"

The test question "I always wanted to be a dentist." I answered "he querido" but correct answer was "quise" 

Isn't that a past action that continues into the present? - perfecto?

Anyway this particular topic seems to be all over the place. The goal of these questions shouldn't be trickery IMHO. We're learning to speak a language - not to be a textbook scholar - or at least that's my goal. I asked one of the many Spanish speakers where I work what they thought and they said "it could be either and I'd understand you."

In the quiz, the sentence was "When I go to Spain, I always go to the beach".  - "___________ voy a Espana, siempre voy a la playa"

The answer is "Cuando" without an accent.  In the lesson, it says that cuando without an accent is a relative adverb which introduces a depennt clause.  In the above example, what is the dependent clause that "cuando" is introducing?  I am not a gramarian, but it seems like both of the above clauses are independent.  That may be incorrect, but could you please explain?

Please add “los anocheceres” to the lesson as an exception. 

Only “Los amaneceres” is mentioned.

Why was "partido" (for "game") the correct usage in the first part of the last sentence, but then "juego" (for "game") was correct in the latter part of that same sentence?

Is there a lesson or a table on conjugating these? Especially Traer could use some illumination in this regard, I don't recall seeing the kinds of conjugation as shown in the examples for traer. Thanks.

The above is an A2 question and the expected answer is te however no guidance is given that a singular informal tense is to be used.

Couldn't le, les or os also be used here if no further context is given.

Hello!  I wrote "lo pasarán bien" instead of "se divertirán mucho" and I believe the feedback advised me to use the verb in the reflexive form ("se lo pararán bien"). In the past,  I had encountered "pasarlo bien" as meaning "to have a good time" without using "se."  Can you please clarify?  Thanks so much.

The translation for this is All mayors deserve respect. As it is all mayors why isn't the spanish 'Todos Alcaldes' ? I would have thought todo alcalde was each mayor ?
