correct answer, question 3 in A1 story (surprise party)

Because of you my eyes are bloodshot this morning hahahah. I stayed up all night thoroughly enjoying all the stories!!! I’m still at an early stage in learning the language, having had zero formal training in my earlier years, several years of Duolingo has my vocabulary bank HUGE. But I’ve moved to a Spanish speaking country and am living with a non-English speaking family, and need more than just vocab. My learning style in the English language has ALWAYS been reading…never diagramming sentences, nor memorization of rules by rote. I simply read and read and read. So if a word was written in a way that looked weird, I knew it was likely wrong. Or if a sentence felt strange written in a certain order or the chosen word seemed awkward I knew the sound-flow was incorrect. So now I’m hopping that READING Spanish, at least an hour or more each day, buffered with my Duo streak (hahaha), that learning may come more naturally. A1 finished ☑️

Haha bloodshot eyes from reading Spanish stories.. that might be the best compliment I've ever received What you described about how you learn.. that's exactly it. That's the whole idea behind the stories. You read enough and things start feeling right or wrong without knowing the rule behind it.. that's how native speakers learn their own language You're living with a non-English speaking family AND reading every day.. so you're going to improve faster than you think. A1 done.. on to A2!
