Number 7 does not seem right. Yo fui medico. Isn’t fui mean to go? I am confused.
Can we get an option to remove hints from the tests?
For example with the following hint:
HINT: Conjugate “ser” in El Pretérito Imperfecto
There is really no point to the question, because I can easily conjugate the verb if you tell me this...the difficulty is in knowing when to use the imperfect vs the preterite.
I would also like an option to get rid of the multiple choice answers for the one or two word answers. Sometimes you can eliminate three options just based on context without actually understand the grammar that is supposedly being tested.
Right now it is too easy to get the right answer when you don't really know the topic very well.
Why is it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?
And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"? There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".
There was a lot of food at the party. (completed action in the past)
Había mucha comida en la fiesta.
There was a lot of food at the party. (action not completed in the past, descriptive)
Which action is (not) completed in the past? The party? What if we add "ayer" at the end of the examples? Will is change anything? Is the process of eating food meant at completed? So "hubo" in the first example means that food was over at the party?
Please help me to understand the differences in these examples. Thank you.Tú ________ al anochecer. You were walking at dusk.HINT: Conjugate "caminar" in El Pasado Progresivo/Continuoand i did it wrong, i said:
estuviste caminando, while it should be estabas caminando But i think the hint is not totally clear, it doesn't specify a imperfecto, or does it?
The lesson is totally clear, but i thought i could use an indefenido. Indefenido is pasado as well.
I'm very confused by the explanation regarding the use of indirect and direct object pronouns with hacer + infinitive. The lesson says that indirect object pronouns are used with intransitive verbs, but shows direct object pronouns (lo) with the intransitive verb "arrodillarse". The lesson then says that direct object pronouns are used with transitive verbs, but then shows indirect object pronouns (les) with the transitive verb "pedir (pardón)". Is this a mistake, or am I misunderstanding?
I'm also confused by the difference between the example in the lesson and the example sentence further below:
The lesson teaches:
Les ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor"
He made them apologise to the teacher.
But the examples sentences below show:
Los ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor.He made them apologise to the teacher.
I am completely confused :(
