Hil Phi,

Actually you are right, I mean it should read "Estos regalos", plural form. And as to "pusieron en su corazón", I *guess* they meant "pusieron su cuerpo y alma en...." which would be "put their heart and soul into...".
philgoddard Feb 20, 2020:
Context Could you tell us what this about, please? "Este regalo" is singular, but you and others have said "distributed". Unless they're using the singular collectively, to refer to multiple identical gifts.

And could it be a mistake for "poner su corazón en"?
Wendy Streitparth Feb 20, 2020:
I prefer the version with "put their heart and soul into...".
Manuel Aburto (asker) Feb 20, 2020:
Hi Robert,
Well, actually "pusieron en su corazón" does not make so much sense here, maybe the author meant "put their heart [and soul] into sth, meaning that they made a lot of effort to do something, I guess.

Could you explain what "poner en su corazon" means in Spanish, Manuel?
