a couple of questionsRe: this exercise in Climbing the Gorbea
It would be good to have a lesson included/referred for this hint:
as the largest in the area.
Kwizbot's answer:
como el de mayor extensión de toda la zona.
Your answer:
como el con la mayor extensión de toda la zona.
Here's the hint we gave you:
largest = mayor, area = zona. Lit: "as the one with the largest extension of the whole zone."

this also:
(in order to) reach the summit.
HINT: use "con tal de", to reach = llegar.
Kwizbot's answer:
con tal de llegar a la cumbre.
Your answer:
con tal de llegar a la cima.
Wondering if "cima" would be acceptable? It was not shows as a "possible answer". (in order to) reach the summit. I would imagine were it a type of “grammatical reference” it might not be acceptable, but this seems a possible synonym for “summit”.
My Google translate does the above when I query Do you like it? Is this incorrect?
Hi,
Why is it not the verb "continuar" + unconjugated verb, or the verb "seguir" + unconjugated verb?
For example, "Continúa caminar..." why is it written instead as "Continúa caminando?" I do not understand the why behind making the second verb -ando or -iendo.
Can you explain why it is not correct to use the article, as in “en de UNA visita oficial”?

I have the basic idea of what an indirect question is but still have some trouble recognizing one. Could you give me some tips?
I typed in a simple question: HOW TO FORM IMPERFECT SUBJUNCTIVE and received many pages with endings of imperfect subjunctive and its uses, without once being given the simple method - the stem on which to add endings. Is this anywhere explained?
The final Spanish text is different, and somewhat better, than the individual chunks presented during the translation exercise. For instance:
(1) "madrugar" (in the final text) when the individual chunk was "levantarse"
(2) "veraneantes" (in the final text) when the individual chunk was "turistas".
I can do the dictation but there are words I don't know the meaning of even if I can write them correctly. In the French version of the course - if you hover the cursor over the word it gives the translation. Without that I have to go to google translate to get the meaning. I find this annoying! Surely the vocabulary should be available, or the translation without having to find a dictionary or use google translate!?
I have the test question: A ustedes no ________ este documental, ¿verdad? The answer is "les gusta". Why isn't it "les gustan"?
The lesson gave me the impression that articles are only needed when they are in plural form, but based on the discussion below it sounds like they are always needed for both singular and plural forms. Is that correct? So that’s why “el cantar” was correct in the quiz question but “cantar” alone was incorrect? How do we know when a verb is considered a noun without a quiz hint?
