Hola!
La segunda pregunta de la prueba dice:
Espero que ____ el avion a tiempo.
I hope that (we will get) the plane on time. 

Elegí "tómaremos" en las opciones. Porque tomar en futuro de subjuntivo es esto - we will take. 
Pero Kwiziq me dijiste que la opcion correcta es "tomemos". Pero esta opcion está en presente de subjuntivo - we take.
Puede explicarme por qué me equivico?
Gracias!

(1) Most of the adverbs on the list are used with adjectives:  demasiado verdes, muy estricta, un poco cansadas, bastante ruidoso, tan rápidamente.  

(2) But mucho is different as it is used with verbs:  te quiere mucho, no dormí mucho.  And it wouldn’t seem to work with adjectives, for example, los platanos están mucho verdes needs to be stated as muy verdes. 

(3) Tanto is different again, as it functions as a direct object.  No puedes comer tanto. 

 Are these differences important, and should we learn more about these different categories of adverbs?  Thanks.

I see oenegés as the original transcript - but wouldn't it be O.N.G. like the acronym in English?

En la frase "me quedo comtemplándola por horas", debería ser "contemplándola".

I continue to have exactly the same problem as the users below.  Your team really needs to fix this.

Hola! 

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the purpose of doubling down on the indirect object usage in some of these examples:

"Ella le envió un regalo a Miguel. 

She sent a present to Miguel."

In this example, why do you need the le if you already have Miguel. It reads to me literally as "she him sent a present to Miguel" and I suppose it feels like excessive and unnecessary additional language in an already clear sentence. Is it for emphasis? Por favor ayúdame a entender.

For example, would this be correct?

I cleaned the room, so he would be happy.

Limpié la habitacion,  así que él se sintiera feliz

Could así que and para que both be used in this context?

you have been my best friend since we were children =  eres mi mejor amiga desde que éramos pequeñas.

BUT In the previous exercise 'My Love Story´

Since then, we've been joined at the hip   =  Desde entonces, hemos sido como uña y carne

When I queried why in the second example it was incorrect to say somos como uña y carne,  Sylvia explained:

This construction with "hemos sido" (present perfect) conveys the idea that the close relationship has been ongoing since that point in the past. Your attempt was almost correct, but using the present perfect aligns better with the context of an enduring connection over time.

I don't understand then why it is incorrect to say has estado mi mejor amiga desde que éramos pequeñas

Is it correct to say " he vivido en esta casa desde hace 20 años" ? There is an enduring connection. The lessons with desde always state the use of the present.

Gracias
