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.

Wrong hint for the second sentence

For the second sentence, you hint to use El Pretérito Indefinido but the right answer is "era" which is El Pretérito Imperfecto. I should have gotten it anyways but just wanted to let you know in case you want to change the hint.

another wording and esperar with a

the correct answer to what do you think? is ¿qué piensas? but can we write as "qué te pareces?"

and looking forward to your reply, should we include a preposition 'A'? ¡Espero a tu respuesta! or without a is then the correct one?

The imperative

I’ve started to get kwiz questions about specific instances of the imperative, but I am very unfamiliar with it. Could you link me to the introductory lessons/material you have about forming the imperative? Thanks

más de o más que

Obtuve más de lo que quería. (I got more than I wanted.)

This sentence seems to require más de, though it is a comparison, and no numbers are involved. Can you explain this, please?

Using fractions with measurement units

Would we use this format: quiero medio kilo de res molido, quiero un mitad de una copa de vino, añade tres cuartos de una tasa de azucar, dame doble de lo que diste a él. Thanks. (PS The return key doesn’t work in this question box on the iPad.)

Preposition "para" before an infinitive.

Is there a comprehensive rule for when to use (or not use) PARA before an infinitive? I sometimes encounter examples where para is used without the sense of "purpose" that is supposed to trigger the use of "para." In other words, I can't use the rule "in order to" to translate these sentences.

Tuvimos muchas dificultades para encontrar la parada de autobús.

Fue un día demasiado bueno para quedarse adentro.
