el uso del guion

I had always learned and also read stories in books where conversations began and ended with a long dash, (un guion). The grandma was always saying ends with a colon. I expected a guion at the beginning of what she said and also the first letter of her first word to be Capitalized. I am confused.

"I am a neighbour of yours" is ambiguous as to what sex "yours" refers to.So surely vuestra is just as correct as vuestro. What am I missing?

I am having a hard time learning all the past tenses and when to use what. Does anyone have a good advise on how to make it less complicated?

Pronunciation of cansadas sounds wrong in the example.La clase de zumba nos ha dejado un poco cansadas.The zumba class left us a little tired.It might be my hearing, but Cansadas sounds to me as though it is pronounced cansado.in this example from the lesson.

Angela's really messed up

I'm really getting concerned for Angela. She's not making good decisions bouncing from one man to another. She needs more self-respect. This is so sad and so common now. Women are so sexualized that they don't see their own value.

Es posible?

One of the possible answers for a kwiz question was "Es posible que hace frío hoy". Why wouldn't this be a correct sentence?

Could you please explain to me why the correct answer for the 2nd question was hacen instead of hacéis? I thought this would be the vosotros form?

"María come poco pan."

Wouldn't that sentence better translate to "Maria eats little bread."?

And "Maria doesn't eat much bread." better translate to "María no come mucho pan."?

Ir vs pensar

I was planning to go for a holiday - pienso ir de vacaciones, pensaba ir de vacaciones. Iba a ir de vacaciones. Does all these mean the same thing ? Ir in imperfect + a + infinitive seems very similar to pensar + infinite. In this case, do we use pensar in present tense or in imperfect (same as the way IR is used) ?
