Spanish language Q&A Forum

This is from an example in a lesson.  the response given is:  Desde pequeño.  That seems incomplete to me.  Would it be correct to say: Desde era pequeño.  

One example drives me crazy (again). When to use pero or sino que. 

Example: Luis y yo no hemos terminado, ....... decidimos darnos un tiempo para pensar en lugar de tener que romper.

My answer = pero, because it is correct and I asked as well native speaker and they would use pero.

Strict rules instead of colloquialism @kwiziq? 

In 99% of all cases pero is correct but not in Kwiziq. 

Would it be possible to rate the answer as correct but add a hint stating that the strict rules would rate differently?

Thanks,

I have to say the use of pronouns (and to a lesser degree prepositions) is one of the most challenging parts of learning Spanish I have experienced thus far.  I am REALLY struggling on this!! If you look at my small (two question) quizzes I do fine, but when I take a ten point quiz I do very poorly on this topic.  I AM trying!  I need to go very slowly, using tools like "to whom, for whom" is the action taken to find the indirect pronoun answer but NOTHING is coming naturally at this point. Please don't take this as whining before giving up.... I am not giving up!  Anything worth having requires work so I am forging on. I just wonder... am I being unusually dumb on this?! Do any (most?) other students at my level struggle this hard on the pronoun (preposition) usage topic? As always I need to say how much I love Kwiziq and am so grateful to have found it! I'll get this sooner or later (but any other tricks to help me would sure be welcome!!). 

Would it be incorrect to use a pronoun or even a named subject in the que clause in order to clarify specifically who one is talking about since 1st and 3rd person singular forms are the same?

Using the examples above:

Han hecho que reconsidere la oferta.

(odd but gramatically correct) Me han hecho que reconsidere la oferta. (???)

Similar to other subjunctive que clauses could I say:

Han hecho que yo reconsidere la oferta.

or Han hecho que ella reconsidere la oferta.

or even Han hecho que (a?) Maria reconsidere la oferta.

Or does this just need to be understood from further context?

Why is “de” used in sentences with marravilla? 

 A mi abuela se le da de maravilla hacer punto.  

A Lucía se le daban de maravilla los crucigramas pero ahora no le interesan.

why do you say yo soy una estudiante but not yo soy una professora

is it correct to say "no veo la hora de que se vayan" instead of "no veo la hora en que se vayan"? is there a difference?
