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?

In the 2nd question, why is not "has" indicated in the English version?

Wouldn't ¿Crees que has aprobado el examen? be "Do you think you have passed the exam?" I don't know the grammatical tense that applies, but on the face of it, it seems the "have" should be represented in the English.

Also, does Spanish have an equivalent of "do?" I think i read that it does not. In English it is often ommitted, so it's probably ok to not always include it in translations.

es (él) vs. son (ellos) in statements of time

The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says

Hoy es lunes. = Today is Monday. ("Today" is singular.)

but

Son las tres de la tarde. = It's three o'clock in the afternoon. ("It" is plural.)

Why are these different?

Change above to below

Take a look at the first sentence above (It’s Below) but this time with a subject.

Carmen y Rosa llaman a la puerta.
