"El hemisferio meridional" is an accepted (though perhaps less common) equivalent of "southern hemisphere." Perhaps it could be added as a correct answer.
I am having trouble understanding the difference between "perderse" and "perder" in the context of missing an opportunity. For example, if you were talking to someone about not coming to a move with you, could you say "perdiste la oportunidad de ver la pelicula"? Could you also say "te perdiste la pelicula"? Would both of these be correct?
The examples all list a couple actions that are being requested or suggested. Would it be just as normal to use it when there is just a single action being requested? Like "Pones los papeles sobre la mesa" would sound as normal as a command as "Pon los papeles sobre la mesa"? As a non-native speaker, if I talked that way would people think I don't know the imperative?
As with the majority of these writing options, how about including common Latin American options like el carro, manejar, and ¡Qué ganga! for this exercise.
I greatly appreciate all the hard work in making up these exercises, and adding the options for Latin American speakers would make this site and these exercises even better.
In this question from a quiz:
"El presidente ________ Gobierno tiene su residencia oficial en el Palacio de la Moncloa, en Madrid"
I was told that it should be del. However, in the lesson it says not to use contractions prior to proper nouns. Is this not a proper noun, despite the fact it is capitalized?
