I have a question about constructions like this: "Omar y Cristina son nuestros panaderos," e.g. "Omar and Cristina are our bakers." I understand it is "nuestros" because it is the nosotros form of the possessive adjective. However, I'm confused about the gender. Why is it masculine here?
Could a correct translation option also be "En la madrugada"?
Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero ____ no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?
I continue to have exactly the same problem as the users below. Your team really needs to fix this.

Hola. Could you please explain why, in the following question, "todo aquel que" is a wrong answer?
________ vinieron el año pasado han vuelto este año.All those who came last year returned this year.(HINT: It refers to people in general both male and female)
Hola,
I have a particular interest in art, so I enjoyed doing this exercise. Yet, I have to agree with David that this lesson was possibly more challenging than the AI level.
I needed to listen to the measurements several times because I was unfamiliar with the use of "veinte coma dos" for example. (Although, I should have guessed, since this is similar to the French use of a comma instead of a decimal point.) After the first measurement, I was able to understand the second one. A good learning experience for me. I am coming back to Spanish, and have a lot to review and much more to learn for the first time.
May I suggest that there is a link to a lesson about numbers with decimals?
Gracias y Saludos

I was doing one of the writing exercises and the sentence given was, "I decided to wait and see if a car passed by to call for help." I figured the translation of "passed by" would be "pasera" (past subjunctive), but the answer given was "pasaba." Why wouldn't we need to use subjunctive here since it's uncertain whether a car will actually pass by?
En la frase "me quedo comtemplándola por horas", debería ser "contemplándola".
