You should add some comprehension questions after each reading text

¡Hola! Am new here .I have a problem with the placement of 'usted'.For example ¿Usted tiene nietos?and ¿Tiene Usted nietos? Are both of the sentences correct? When or in what context do you use Usted before the verb or after.

I translated "I gave some flowers to your mother" as "Yo le di unas flores a tu madre". It was marked wrong and I can't work out why. I've looked at a couple of other websites and I still don't understand what I've got wrong. One site says that the "le" has to be used. The given answer didn't have "le" in it. Even if the "le" is optional, is it actually incorrect to use it, or have I got it all wrong? Thanks.

Hi,

Does the section headed "Bear in mind that their regular superlative forms can also be used" mean that there are two ways to say "The youngest of my brothers is called Juan:

    El menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.

and

   El más menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.

Thanks

I understand your comments below where "sobre la montaña" refers to the top of the mountain, and why "por" is the best choice. However, I'm curious about using "sobre dónde" with respect to "la cine," for example, where there is no "top". I've seen "sobre dónde" elsewhere used to mean "whereabouts", and am wondering if this is correct.

It looks to me like the helping verb is not in the pretérito perfecto but rather the Present pretérito perfecto.  This may seem like a nit picking question but I am confused by the different names I see for the same tense in different sources.
