Personal A can't find the lesson Hi,
I am having difficulty toggling between Kwiziq, Lawless Spanish and this site (Progress...)
When I am in the Kwiziq site, for some reason, I can't log in. I have also tried what had been suggested to me earlier, to just replace the address with the Lawless one, and was told I'd be in the same place, but when I do that, it brings me to the main Progress with Lawless "welcome" page, with the "Your Spanish Dashboard". and I've lost the page..
When I find something on the Lawless site and I sign in, I lose the page I was on and cannot find that page in the Progress with Lawless site.
For example, in Lawless, I found an article on the Personal A, with links at the bottom. This is the page I was on:
https://www.lawlessspanish.com/grammar/prepositions/personal-a/
Article name:
Personal A
{Excerpt : Although normally prepositions are not used in front of direct objects, in Spanish there is a special preposition called the personal a which precedes direct objects that refer to people, personified nouns, and animals.]
I was trying to find this article thru a search on this page I'm writing in, and didn't find this particular article, but a list (which I included at the bottom of this message.)
Sorry for this being so long and probably confusing, but here are my questions:
1) how can I toggle from one site to the other/ and /or keep the page I'm on once logged in?
2) how can log into Kwiziq - it doesn't recognize me even though I got there via the activity listed here:
and I enter my log in info but it doesn't recognize it.
2-1) for example I don't understand why I am not logged in anymore when I click on my name in the
Q&A section in Lawless to get a list of my questions and I'm suddenly in Kwiziq.
3) How do I find this article below, that is at https://www.lawlessspanish.com/grammar/prepositions/personal-a/
but not in here, not that I could find easily anyway.
Thanks for your attention.
Nicole

Re: ¡Vamos a ver ________ en directo este verano!
We're going to see the Rolling Stones live this summer!
I was wondering why the name of the "group" requires a personal A here when in one of the examples above it doesn;t:
¿Vais a visitar La Sagrada Familia este sábado?
Are you going to visit La Sagrada Familia this Saturday?
Both are people, so what am I missing here?
Thank you,

It sounds strange to me to say Ellos fueron amigos. Isn't it better to say Ellos eran amigos, when there is no time specification?
The translation of the sentence is missing. Why is there hubieras after si?
Coudl you please add examples of compound sentences with theconjunction si? Or is it covered in another lesson?
I would like to ak why is the accent in the audio on the second syllable?
No aceptaba que su amigo tuviera una serpiente en casa.
She couldn't accept her friend having a snake at home.
Why does this not translate to:
"She didn't accept that her friend had a snake at home."
In other words, why isn't "had" the translation for "tuviera" instead of "having"?
I have confusion about where in the sentence to place the adverb "mañana". For example, above it notes
"Cuando vayas mañana al mercado ... "
However, I'm confused as to why it would not have been "Cuando vayas al mercado mañana ..."
Please give some clarity.
In the question, How would you say "There was an accident on the motorway" the nearest correct answer I can find is "Había un accidente...", and there isn't the option for preterite 'hubo'. However, because accidents are one time actions with clear beginnings and ends, it's more appropriate to use the preterite tense in this case. In fact, this particular sentence is a very common one to use when explaining the differences between the two conjugations and especially to illustrate why imperfect simply doesn't work here.
What is the rule regarding seasons of the year. When do we use the definite article el and when not. En el invierno/en invierno.
