I may be missing something here but the sentence given did not indicate gender.

For example, if the Duo sentence in the 3rd screen shot were to be changed to talk about something with a femenino, plural adjective, would you stick with lo, or would you change the clause to be singular to show it is a general statement, or would you match gender and number?

For example: Ibas a lo/la dirección contraria de lo que dices.

Or

Ibas a las direcciones contrarias de lo que dices.

And just to be contrario myself, what’s with AI saying that “haces” is not regular for an -ar verb. Well…hacer is an -er verb. Also, in the simple present, only the yo version, hago, is irregular. I guess the AI error served a purpose by having me double-check myself with a dictionary to be sure. Maybe that’s a reasonable review.

I wonder how Duo could stop it’s AI from making up stuff like this, i.e. hallucinating.

I got this exercise tonight, and my initial thought at the translation was "She cooked tomatoes while reading a poem." But, I didn't have those particular verbs to get that answer.

Based upon the boxes that Duo provided for the answer, I'm being told the correct translation for the exercise (according to Duo) is "She read a poem while cooking tomatoes." I pretty much guessed at what Duo was looking for, and I ended up getting it correct, only because of the boxes I had available to me.

But, I'm a bit lost. Wouldn't the answer that Duo says is correct be translated to, "Leyó un poema cocinando los tomates"? That's not even close to what the exercise reads.

I want to flag this, but I also want to be sure I'm correct. Thanks for any help.

I feel Duolingo does this to me when I have a long streak of correct answers. It seems that either one of these could be right and if I pick it, the other one will show as the correct answer. What do you think?

My beer came out my nose when I heard “Eme, eme, eme, no se…” 😂

Horrible narration! 🤦
