Super helpful! Thanks again Inma! Shirley.
I would translate this as "Take any dish."
Coge cualquier plato.
I would translate this exactly the same way.
Under what circumstances would one choose to use either one?
Are these words indeterminate and/or invariable and what are the meanings or other examples of indeterminate and invariable?
If I wrote:
¿Puede venir cualquiera a mi fiesta?
Can anyone come to my party? Would that be incorrect?
I understand that the permanent-temporary rule is not a good one to use for “ser” and “estar”. However a Spanish speaker told me that it is common to use “quedar” for the location of fixed items, such as buildings or roads, and “estar” for moveable items, such as people. Is this correct? Thanks.
I think this lesson would be better if it started with an explanation of what an impersonal expression is.
Por qué se usa "las" en "[la juventud] es un lienzo en blanco esperando ser pintado con las que son consideradas experiencias inolvidables y valiosas lecciones de vida"?

In this conversation:
-How did you make the final selection? -Listening to the melodies and the lyrics of each one of them.
Regarding "listening", why is escuchando the correct option here versus escuchar? "Escuchando las melodías ..."
I know that this construction (using cómo si + indicative to express indifference) is common in colloquial speech. My question: Is this a currently officially excepted grammatical construction by the RAE? I found one source that says that the RAE says that this construction is common but must be considered incorrect. But I am not sure if I’m looking at the most appropriate or most updated source.
During the quizes, it translates it into english without asking me. I'd love to have the option of not having the english there as it takes away learning opportunities. Can I remove it?
Las chicas ________ el desfile de moda. The girls saw the fashion show. (HINT: Conjugate “ver” in El Pretérito Perfecto) without the hint, would vieron be more appropriate? i'm having a hard time differentiating, and would not think preterito perfecto was correct here. additionally, la costurera ha deshecho todos los puntos de la falda - why wouldn't this also just be deshizo? (preterite)? there isn't really anything connecting it to the present ?
This left me somewhat down hearted. I thought I was further along than my terrible score! I guess I'll keep trying in the hopes I won't do this bad in the future. :(
