Devuelva vs devuelvan

Hi Kiwziq team,

las comunidades indígenas están reclamando que se les devuelva algunas piezas de museo, porque pertenecían a sus antepasados.

I'm slightly confused as to why this uses 'devuelva' and not 'devuelvan' given that it's 'algunas piezas' being returned and 'las comunidades indigenas' doing the demanding. Please could someone offer an explanation?

Many thanks

Dee

Use of él

Hello,

En él puedes percibir

I assume this translates to 'In it you can perceive'. I did not know that 'él' can be use for 'it'.

Thanks

recordar or acordarse, unos pocos

there is this sentence = the deceased were only remembered on November 1st.

the answer is = solo se recordaba a los difuntos el primero de noviembre.

But is using acordarse acceptable as well?

= solo se acuerdaba ?

second question is that, for a few years = unos pocos años or pocos años.

can we use unos cuentos años or un par de años?

i do not understand why one is preferred over the other.

by the way, the audio seems to have some problems as i cant play it.

thanks

Table for crear in the present indicative and creer in the present subjunctive

I believe that according to RAE, the vosotros form of both verbs should have a tilde – creáis.

This problem is in addition to the yo form problem others have mentioned.

Possible error

Would it be more correct to change this sample sentence:
"Puede que yo haya sido un poco brusca, pero tenía que decir la verdad."

Vs.

"Puede que yo haya ESTADO un poco brusca....."? \

Thanks for your input.

Need more practice

This is a good concise explanation, but having more targeted practice opportunities would help me progress in this area.
