Can we drop en? Would it be correct?
Can we also drop para from: nada dura para toda la vida?
En la tienda no ________ ni pan ni dulces. In the shop, they didn't have bread or cakes.(HINT: Conjugate "tener" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
Answer given : Estoy vendiendo . My answer marked wrong was : yo estoy vendiendo. Is that just because I wrote yo and not Yo ? If so that seems rather harsh.
The intro says "Aunque, generally translated as although, even if, or despite of". I'm not sure there's any English construction "despite of", I think you may be conflating "despite" with "in spite of". As far as I can think of, these two phrases are used pretty interchangeably in English.

Tanto el café como el té me sientan mal. Why sentir in the subjunctive?
Thanks a lot, Shirley.
I will tell my son that you have called. VS
I will tell my son that you called.
Le dire a mi hijo que lllamaste.
No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo ________.
Shouldn't it be "ningunos" because tatuajes is masculine and plural?
"Alfredo se quedó tan sorprendido que se puso pálido"
Por qué no es "se puso tan sorprendido"? En la explicación de grammática 'Using convertirse en / ponerse / hacerse / quedarse´, se dice que se debería usar ´quedar´ por los cambios permenantes, y poner por los temporales.
Would it also be correct to ask "en qué habéis acordado?"?
¿Cuántos euros te quedan en la cartera? -Me quedan ochenta.
How many euros do you have left in your purse? -I have eighty left.
The above is using preterite translated to present perfect. This is a subject I have some trouble understanding. Wondering if quedar is one of those examples of language that doesn't translate exactly and have to accept it as an expression used and not over think it?
