The word "revise" in the 2nd sentence of the Details section is wrong and confusing. I believe the writer intended to say "review".

I'm also very confused by this lesson...

The tip in the text of this lesson states "You will never find es followed by bien/mal. However, está can be followed by bueno/malo, but the meaning will be different" (it doesn't really explain what that difference is though).

In the test I checked "Está malo que comas 6 veces al día." (It's bad to eat 6 times a day) as valid and it was marked as wrong. "Está buen que ayudes a tu hermana con los deberes" (It's good that you help your sister with her homework.) was also marked as wrong and it's not easy for me to see why.

It's early in the morning, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

Gracias

The hints giving in the mini quiz for this lesson are not very helpful.  Correct me if I am wrong, but the verb that we need to conjugate is ir not the second verb in the infinitive.  Therefore, the hint should read conjugate ir in el presente, correct?

I'm having trouble consistently distinguishing between using 'a' or 'en' when talking about being somewhere.

For instance, in the dialog, "... Alberto estará  en la reunión...", 

Would we say "estará en la reunión" to mean someone will be 'in' the meeting, while "estará a la reunión" has a connotation indicating a location 'at' the meeting?

Or is it always customary to use 'en' in cases like this?

For this question about recibir in the imperfect, I inserted the "personal a"  but it was marked wrong. Ayudame por favor!

In his small apartment he didn't receive guests. --> En su apartamento pequeño no recibía a visitas. (recibía was correct but adding a was marked wrong)

Why do you use the definitive article with "cumplir los deseos", but not with "con humildad y esperanza" ?

Would it also be possible to use "Esos que" in this context?

I see here that querer does not have an accent for the first person preterito indefinido: quise, whereas some verbs have one, like compré - is there a rule that I can apply to distinguish it, or is it just because querer is irregular?

Thanks

I don't want to quibble about details with native teachers but I was puzzled by the tip box at the bottom of this lesson saying "Remember that after poder(conjugated in any tense) you will always find an infinitive. "

I'm unsure what to make of this given that I have not always found an infinitive after poder. The example that immediately came to mind was "No puedo más." Which I stuck out in my mind precisely because  I found it odd that "puedo" was NOT followed by another verb.
