    The in line translation only says for and to, does not show a verb.

      FYI: the verb is "parar", and means "to stop".

          3 Weeks later it's still not fixed. I've just reported it (again).

            Is it "para" or is it "pára"? This exercise shows no accent, while elsewhere I have seen it with an accent.

              It is a bug. "Para" has no accent.

                Obrigada. I answered the first time with no accent and got "almost correct" and showed with an accent. So when it came around again, I did it with an accent and again I got "almost correct and it showed no accent. I came here so confused. lol

                    a little help on the translation when we are given new words would be great

                      If I didn't already know Spanish, I would have no chance at this since the translation words were "to" and "for". No verb was given.

                        I got it wrong obviously. I laughed. Is this still in beta? Hope they look at these things closesly for future users.

                          If you report it, they can use the feedback since this is a beta version

                            Would this verb have an infinitive?

                              Yes. To stop = parar
