Why is this sentence in "Prepositions 1"???

Here, pana = until is not a preposition but a subordinating conjunction.

[vincemat]

He washes until he tires

[MauroBella2]

Spala means also clean, keep clean..

"He cleans until he gets tired", was not accepted

[gnomoascia]

isin't this a conjunction...?

[JamesJeffr875265]

He washes until tired it no different to English speaker the he and the gets are not required. It would make no sense to say he washes until someone else gets tired

[JamesJeffr875265]

This second try I wrote He cleans until he gets tired and it wanted specifically washes. Leaving aside the issue of he repeated twice and the gets, which is un required. After twenty years of immersion and hearing spala used interchangeably with wash and clean daily I am confused. Please don't give me a parts of speech response as I have no idea what any of that means anymore, just a nice simple explanation would be deeply appreciated.

Maybe it just needs to be reported as 'My answer should have been accepted'. There are misses here and there, but they get fixed when reported.

[Dani718287]

"a spăla" = to wash

"a curăța" = to clean

Since these are different words better stay with the direct translation, Duo is too picky to accept any alternates.
