Aren't both masculin and feminin acceptable? Tnx

Why can that not translate as "I like to dance" or must the "literal" option of "dancing is liked by me" then become "I like dancing".

Hola, no entiendo estas frases: 

1) justo de lo que se trata, 

2) es de ver que todos somos distintos

Entiendo la idea de la paradoja--que la igualdad es importante pero, al mismo tiempo, somos individuales--pero no puedo traducir las frases. 

Una suposición:

1) in fairness to what we are dealing with

2) one must see that

Just a terminology question, but why is this called "El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo" instead of "El Presente Perfecto Subjuntivo"? I thought pretérito meant past tense? (It seems to mean past tense in the context of Pretérito Indefinido and Pretérito Imperfecto.) 

Question:

Queda muy ________ arroz, no podemos hacer la paella.

Answer: poca

I understand the explanation of when to use poco/poca/pocas/pocos but I don't understand why in this circumstance it is feminine, because I thought arroz is masculine. Is 'arroz' actually feminine, or is it because 'la paella' is feminine? 

Why 'comí' una lubina, then 'tomé' un trozo, but with the same english translation?

Could seguir + infinitive be used in a similar way to llevar here? Perhaps...

Sigo trabajando en este colegio tres años

= I've continued working in this college for three years

Or would that have to be 'He seguido trabajando...'

I also note the absence of a preposition (por, durante etc) before the time/period phrase in the examples. Is it not necessary with llevar?
