This seems to me to be too ambiguous (or maybe too subtle) to be used in a lesson.
Gabriel no podía meter las llaves en la cerradura anoche.
Carlos couldn't put the keys in the keyhole last night.
Without additional information, it appears that it could be either way, depending on the reader’s interpretation.
Hola Inma,
My answer was "disfrutamos de esta cena maravillosa" but it was marked wrong.
Can you, please, explain when the verb disfrutar needs the "de"?
Un saludo
Ελισάβετ
It seems like two of the examples use the imperfect to express an intended action.
¿Ibais a Ibiza para vuestra luna de miel?
Iban de vacaciones a una isla bonita.
In English we would say this as "Were you going to go..." and "They were going to go..." We don't know if these actions were ever completed or not, so it makes sense to use the imperfect tense.
Is this a valid interpretation and use of the imperfect tense? Thanks.
Might be a stupid question, but i dont really understand the difference between when to use “tratar” and “tratar de”..? Thank you!
Usted ________ el dinero en euros. You would be paid in euros.HINT: Conjugate "cobrar" in El Condicional Simple

As written, doesn't the sentence in English mean "You would pay in Euros?"
I'm confused about what the difference is between these two words.
