One of the questions in this section was:
Mi prima ________ Miss Universo. .My cousin was Miss UniverseHINT: Conjugate "ser" in Pretérito indefinido
I got this correct (fue), because of the section it is in, but would it not be better to use the imperfect for this example? Mi prima era Miss Universo. There is no time frame involved, outside of being in the past. Does it really matter? Just wondering. Thank you.
Please could you tell me, how would you know which to use here-
‘Yo no he sido’- it wasn’t me
Or
‘Yo no fui’- it wasn’t me
Thank you
In one of the examples above, shouldn't it be admitiría? Or the translation should be She didn't admit
No admitía que vosotras estuvieseis enfadadas con vuestros maridos.
She wouldn't admit that you were angry with your husbands.
Are you going to the hospital is translated as Va usted al hospital.
Is it acceptable to interchange the words va usted and usted va and they are both equally correct?
There are examples here with "demasiado dinero" and another with "tanto dinero" both meaning "too much money." That's very annoying.
Could you explain 'dime' for me please. Would this be classed as an Imperative? I'm thinking especially of sentences like, 'Dime algo'
Gracias

Hola,
I have not seen this type of construction before which i think translates as "Settling here ........" Is it just something common in Spanish that we learn as we go along or is there a lesson about it?
Another point .... would it be possible to get translations of the weekly lessons underneath the final transcript when the exercise is finished, so that we can check our understanding?

Shouldn't it be se viste instead of viste?
