My mother has an unusual mobile phoneHello:
in the exercise at: https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/my-languages/spanish/exercises/judge/314/481235?response=57969&page=8
sentence: My mother uses her mobile phone to make calls and send texts
Spanish: Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes.
The exercise says: "and", but the translation is: "o"
i.e.: and send texts.
Kwizbot: o enviar mensajes.
You: y enviar texto
Why is the translation "o" 9meaning "or" 0 instead of "y" meaning and as per the text?
Is there an error here, if so what lesson would answer this?
Thank you, Nicole
I can say "I like white wine" and also "I prefer white wine". Is it the same in Spanish? - I know there's a difference (i.e. comparison vs general) and wondering how similar it is to the English usage (which can be subtle at times).

I understand the use of 'para' in these sentences:
¿Quieres algo para comer?
Tengo algo que contarte
Can you help?¿Necesitaba algo para escribir?
But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:
Wouldn't "rosas" be the correct form of the adjective to go with "lámparas"?
I was taught to use the phrase, "maquillarse la cara". Is "maquillar su cara" natural to say in Spanish?
I wrote "voy a maquillarle la cara", and I think this is also correct.
What is the difference between ‘el pretérito perfecto’ and ‘el pretérito perfecto compuesto’ ?
