The way I learned, for many of the examples you give here, I would probably use the construction estar de acuerdo. (ie. Estoy de acuerdo contigo = I agree with you).
Can someone explain what the differences between acordar and estar de acuerdo are. I wonder if the latter is regional variation as I'm not sure if I ever heard it said in Spain?
te, se, nos vs le, les
"Mi padre no es ________ maestro".
The question is "my father is not THEIR teacher" - so why is the answer "su", why not "sus" when it is their not his/her?
La/le esperó dos horas.
Is 2 hours a direct object in, "I waited [for] 2 hours."?
My understanding is that in Spanish, “un billón” represents a different quantity from “a billion”in English, and this should not be directly translated, but is rather the same as “mil millón.”
Is my info wrong? Can there be regional variation?
In "....ayuda a reducir los efectos...". is the "a" required because ayudar always takes "a" before an infinitive? If followed by a human or animal the "personal a" is also required, e.g. Ayudo a mi padre, but not if the object is inanimate. Is this correct?
Considering estar can be used in the preterite and imperfect with the present participle ( gerund ), are they used in different ways? Or do they mean the same thing? For example, do:
"Estuve corriendo" and "estaba corriendo" mean the same thing? I was running. Is one used more than the other for any reason?
es la "g" cpmpleamente silente en la palabra "guapo" o es un poco sonido de "g"?
