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?

The question asks for the translation for "she loves him." You need to change the tense.
My neighbours enjoy playing music really loudly.

Nowhere in there does it list "divertir"
I'm unclear on why it wasn't divierten like it would have been "disfrutan"
This lesson says «present tense is used to talk about the past event», which is fine, in English too it happens.
However, there is another lesson in C1, «simple future or conditional tenses are also used» to talk about the past event.
Can someone please explain when to use the present tense, and when to use simple future/conditional to talk about the past event? Or, in the same situation, present tense and future/conditional tense is inter-changeable??
"Los países en la cumbre presentaron sus propuestas ________ las catástrofes naturales."
In this question, the correct answer is ante. Could "frente a" be another option here?
"Los países en la cumbre presentaron sus propuestas frente a las catástrofes naturales."
Also, could you either add a section about frente to this lesson or create a lesson about frente?
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?
Diga a los señores Moreno y Ruiz que pueden pasar a mi despacho.
Is it incorrect to use "puedan" rather than "pueden" in this example sentence?
Thanks in advance,
