Question

Hello, I am unsure about my answers to the following questions.

---

Since it says estaban in the question, I have to reply with nosotros right?

¿Estaban criando los animales también? Sí, nos los estábamos criando también. Sí, estábamos criándonoslos también.

¿Estabas mirando a los campesinos en la finca? Sí, me los estaba mirando en la finca. Sí, estaba mirándomelos en la finca.

Thanks

Answer 1

Since it says estaban in the question, I have to reply with nosotros right?

"Estaban" could mean ustedes (which includes you or not), ellos, or ellas.

"Estabas means only the tú (you, informal) form.

Sí, estábamos criándolos también.

Sí, estaba mirándolos en la finca.

Answer 2

Well you're on the right track ....

but you need to remember that there's a difference between the verb criar used as it in the question and criarse used pronominally as you have in the answer.

Criar = to raise

Criarse = to grow up (referring to the person themselves, eg nos criamos juntos, we grew up together)

So your answer needs to match the question:

¿Estaban criando los animales también?

Are you raising animals too?

... want to try again?

PS You have done the same thing in the second answer and changed mirar (to look at) to mirarse (to look at oneself or each other)
