Este es el tercer coche que compro este año. •

This is the third car I have bought this year.

I was marked as incorrect for not capitalizing the first letter in the sentence. Are the quizzes scored that harshly? I realize that sentences begin with upper case letters, just didn’t expect on these less than formal settings to be scored on case sensitivity.

I don’t understand the use of quedarse in this sentence: “me quedé gratamente sorprendido”. It means I was pleasantly surprised. Why not use a form of estar in the preterite to express surprise? Unless this is a phrase used or has another meaning? I thought quedarse meant to stay. Thanks!

it says to use the EN sentance order - what is that? Where can I find the answer?

Hola!

is it true that "vago" or "perezoso" can be used with both "ser" and "estar", depending on whether it's a permanent personality trait or just a current mood? 

Gracias!

Gracias de antemano

Level B2: Using desde que / hasta que (since/until) with Spanish indicative and subjunctive (subordinate time clauses)

Why is turbulence always plural? Do some words not have a single form? If so, is there a place I can find a list of them? Thanks.

I am in the Latin American course. Anaranjado is more common for orange in Latin America. Anaranjado does change -o or -a endings.

I just did a test related to this section on "regular" -er verbs and the verb used was escoger. The question did not relate to the 1st person singular so it did have a regular -er ending, but it was little confusing for this to be presented as regular when it has the same g-> j change as coger. There are plenty of completely regular verbs to choose from.
