Spanish names for:

 a ball valve

Inside or female threads 

male or outside threads

I gave the answer Ustedes son they said it was incorect and should have been ustedes eres

"It's a good job..." seems to be a bad translation. Perhaps you meant to write "it's a good thing..."

Not a huge deal, but I learned monte = hill and montaña = mountain and not the other way around. Maybe I'm wrong.

I just reviewed the A1 lesson on veces/vez in which "sometimes" equals "algunas veces," but in examples above, "sometimes" equals "a veces." Is there a difference? Is "a veces" simply a more convenient way of saying "algunas veces?" Thank you.

In the first two paragraphs it says "de" is followed by a noun, but the examples all appear to place "de" before an adjective with the noun preceding "de." Can you explain this conundrum? Thank you.

I know that the rule is to use sino que when there is a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino.  If it is the same verb, we don't need to use it at all: Juan no bebía vino sino ron.   But what if we decide to include the verb?  Then do we use sino que (even though it is not a different verb?). Juan no bebía vino sino que ron.

I would appreciate your help on this one.

It is ok to respond back with "Y tu tambien" when someone says to me in Spanish "Que tengas un buen fin de semana."
