Hola, what does ya mean in this sentence. Muchas gracias, Shirley. 

A quiz question says: "La palabra víspera tiene el tilde en la i"

Not relevant to the lesson, but I thought a tilde was the squiggle over the n (~), not the tick mark? Can it mean both?

This is a nice, practical exercise for those who go to the gym with use of preterite and imperfect. The vocabulary is specialized to the gym of course, which makes it a fun challenge. I like Spanishdict.com for it´s excellent dictionary and verb conjugation tables.   I also found it helpful to check my translation with modern AIs like ChatGPT.com or Perplexity.ai  for other ways to translate this activity using terms specific to my preferred zone, Latin America.  For example in ChatGPT, you can ask:  Review this paragraph for grammar errors and clarity as if you were a professor from (your preferred country or region):  (and paste your transcription after the colon).   You can also ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to translate the original paragraph in English to the Spanish of your preferred country or region so you can see your preferred regional-style of writing.

Muchas gracias por compartir esta leyenda.

Hello,

Still a bit confused on passive SE, and have a couple questions:  (1) Do "no fault", "accidental" and "passive" SE all refer to the same thing?  And (2) Would the correct Spanish translation for "Yesterday I fixed his computer, and he has already broken it" be "Ayer le arreglé la computadora (el ordenador) y ya se lo/le ha roto”.   If correct, should I use “lo” (for “it”, the computer) or “le” as indirect object for “to him” (?).  Thank you for your input and clarification.
