  1. Dear Macarena and Victor
    Very nice job!!! However the translation for number 4 doesn’t look right:
    Mr. Koum had discussed leaving the company since late last year, the person added.
    T: El Sr. Koum había discutido sobre dejar la compañía desde fines del año pasado, agregó la persona.
    Besides some of the grammatical tenses are incorrect. Check table below:
    Present tense: is leaving, grow up, speak, move on.
    Past tense: had sold, wrote, collected, explained, sold, built, had discussed.
    Future tense:
    Passive voice: was perturbed
    Present perfect: have said, have done

    You got a 6.6
