Spanish language Q&A Forum

While I understand the explanation via timeframes and don't want to complicate things unnecessarily, this made me think:

Can't I use the imperfect (progressive) with such timeframes, too?

Ayer estaba limpiando la casa. (Should be ok.)
Ayer entre la 1 y las 2 estaba limpiando la casa. (?)
Ayer entre la 1 y las 2 estaba limpiando la casa cuando algo me asustó. (Should be ok.)

That is, can't the imperfect (progressive) be used with an explicit timeframe, too, as long as its function is descriptive or establishing a background, i.e. as long as the aspectual semantics are imperfective within the timeframe?

Hola

¿Cuál es la forma correcta de escribir la siguiente frase?

Desde que tengo seis años de edad, empecé a hacer varios tipos de ejercicios.

Gracias de antemano

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

Gracias por este pasaje. ¡Disfruté mucho aprendiendo sobre esta tradición curiosa! Además, porque toda mi familia, o sea, mis abuelos y mis antepasados eran de Burgos. 

También, el caballero que está leyendo este pasaje tiene una voz encantadora y muy clara. Muchas gracias por esto.

Why es “que flores” correct? I thought “cual flores” would be the correct response… the question was “what flowers do you prefer?”

I have always thought that cualquiera meant whatever (or whichever), as in “Choose whatever book you want”, and I have always used it that way. After reading through this lesson, I still think that lol.

Can I say bien interesante here? Also, why isn’t regreso a casa correct? 

Hello

 when we use para que we need to use subjuntivo imperfecto e indicativo, 

While i was doing the exercise ,the suggested answer was "Para ver las fotos o los videos", but here without articles? In this sentence, should we use las/los or not?

I made some errors, had some typos, some dropped plurals, missed accents, etc., but I got most of it right.  But then the score said "0 out of 60.  Missed your morning coffee?"  I think I do not understand how the dictation is scored.  Could you please explain?
