hi, why is this not considered subjunctive tense?

Hi,

Line: Kwizbot no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pintura rupestres. 

You         no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pinturas ropestres.

Could you explain why there is no “S” on pintura.  Is this a special case? if so what lesson would attach to this? 

Thank you,

Nicole

“Tiene algo que declarar/hacer” but “Tiene algo de comer” or sometimes “Tiene algo para comer.”  How does one know which one to use when?

In the phrase "Este domingo iré a comer a casa de mis padres", why isn't there an article (la) before "casa"?

Most of the story is in preterito indefinido like I expected when telling about events that happened and concluded, but these two are in preterito imperfecto - is this because it can't be determined for how long they were broken/dirty (and that they may still be)?

These seem to be my achilleas heal.

I learned the hard way that I shouldn't try to reason it out.  Just use aun when there is a preposition.

aun con

aun sin

and even with the clause words, like the lesson says

aun si

aun cuando

Sometimes you just have to use tricks until you have a better understanding of the larger rule!

Hola a todos,

A huge thank you to Inma and all the other super teachers we have at our beck and call here in Kwiziq land. Inma et.al, you have the patience of saints!

My request: I have mentioned this before but feel that I need to bring it up again...

Please, when we are asking for assistance from the teachers can we all be mindful of 'manners'. A simple 'Hi', a 'please could you help me with...' and then just a simple 'thank you' in advance or when help has been given. 

Gracias y saludos :)

How would I say someone else is doing something to another person and not themselves? Like if my mom is a hair stylist and she's combing someone else's hair.  Like in "Mi madre se peina el pelo con un cepillo nuevo." Would I need to put something like "el pelo de la mujer" or with the personal a like "el pelo a la mujer"
