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 ?

Are the ending masculine -os or feminine -as based on the noun in the sentence or the adjective of the sentence?

Wouldn't "Le gustaría explicarme..." be just as polite a question as "Podría explicarme..."?

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? 

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.

what is the difference between como estas? and que estas?

En este grupo de frases, ¿es que "las" significa implícitamente “las cosas”? O sea, ¿es que una frase como “vamos a arreglárnoslas para que todo vaya bien” se puede entender como “vamos a arreglarnos (las cosas) para que todo vaya bien”? ¡Gracias por la ayuda!

In the above examples, all of the feminine objects (gafas, pruebas, ausencias) are plural so that the past participle of the action ends with -as. Does this mean that for a single object (chica, casa, etc) the past participle takes on -a?

Example: La casa fue construida por Miguel.
