There is also no transcript for this video.
Those of us who are old enough to have been taught grammar and parsing will be familiar with the concept of indirect questions. Maybe if that could be added to the explanation it would be clearer than "at what moment in time". (For some of us "indirect question" will be more familiar than "indirect interrogative sentence" because of what we were taught at school.)
Also "A ver" is, I believe, one of those impossible-to-translate phrases and the translation "Let's see" might not immediately make native-English-speakers think of indirect questions. When I thought about it some more I thought that "I wonder when..." might be clearer
As somebody already pointed out, if you're not aiming to do much writing, this point is really a marginal concern and I admit that I'm tempted to ignore it.
In the kwiz, there was a phrase to complete: "Me vi tentada ..." I had selected tentado instead of tentada, which was marked wrong. The thing was that there was no indication, neither in the sentence itself or in the instructions, that the speaker was female. Why then would "Me vi tentado..." be incorrect?
My quiz included the example: 'Éramos nosotros los que llamamos a la puerta.'
Why is the pronoun positioned after the conjugated verb in this case?
Could this also mean, I was probably....?
Hello where is the transcript for this video?
Greetings!
Minor comment: your word bank at the beginning of the exercise included the word "pellizco". The exercise used "pizca". I assume that they are interchangable?
My Spanish verbs book was silent on the verb, "cocer", also my Spanish-English dictionary, so I looked it up online.
Love learning new words. Thank you for exposing us to them.

Take a look at the first sentence above (It’s Below) but this time with a subject.
Carmen y Rosa llaman a la puerta.
Gracias,
Shirley.
