This sentence was marked as incorrect:

Cuando ella abra sus regalos en navidad a menudo tiene perfume.

The english translation was that often when she opens presents she gets perfume. Doesn't that denote possibility in the future and so it should be subjunctive?

In the example: “ Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?” isn’t “dígame” the imperative, not subjuntive?

There is no real way to know the punctuation via the audio, e.g. the semicolon. The UX piecemeal approach does not allow the context to even guess correctly in all cases. It's unclear why this is part of the test at the A1 level. The software UX needs to be improved if the pedagogy supports this. 

Fill in the blank with the doler verb that best completes each sentence: A mí _____ _______ los brazos.

Super helpful! Thanks again Inma! Shirley. 

Hola Team Kwiziq,

Is it incorrect to place the No in a  No...nunca construction before the pronoun? I notice that one can say "No comes chocolate nunca" which made me believe that the no is always at the beginning of the sentence.

However "No nostotros te mentiríamos nunca" was incorrect and so was "No él estuvo intersesado".  I am guessing that no can be in front of a verb where the pronoun is implied (comes) but not in front of an  explicit subject pronoun (tú comes). Is this correct? Can you elaborate?

You say in the notes: 

But in the most recent exercise I did, when the question was is "ese sartén" correct, given the gender of the noun, and I said no, my answer was marked wrong. 

Is there an inconsistency somewhere?

I was always told that he, has, ha were present perfect and hube, hubiste, hubo were preterite perfect. I find terminology differs from course to course - is there a standard reference that explains the conventions on naming tenses?
