Kwiziq answer "Nosotros fuimos recogidas por tu padre". We were picked up by your father. It didn't state the gender of the group.  I chose Nosotros fuimos recogidos por tu padre assuming a male or mixed group but it was marked incorrect. Please can you explain

Por qué  no necesitas "que" en la frase "les pido [que] no uses insultos?

Hello, my question is how to turn off any references to Latin American Spanish.  I don't want to get instruction on this version.

I am using Kwiziq for European Spanish.  Recently the program has been giving me more and more questions that require Latin American Spanish.  This is pretty frustrating and a waste of my time.  Especially around the use of "ya" and preterite tense. 

What is the  point of having a yo before the tengo. Cant you just put the Tengo.

Thanks.

Hola Inma,

I don't understand the use of subjunctive here:  "Nunca hubiera pensado". Why not había pensado ?

¡Hola! Am new here .I have a problem with the placement of 'usted'.For example ¿Usted tiene nietos?and ¿Tiene Usted nietos? Are both of the sentences correct? When or in what context do you use Usted before the verb or after.

could you, please, explain why " mi corazón me iba a explotar/estalar" is not valid? I' ve always had a problem with this kind of expression. 

Saludos

I had the correct answer to the question below........until I read the hint which totalaly confused me as "Retrasar" was present in gerundial form in one of the possible choices.
