juego al tenisHola. Why does "juego al tenis" have "a"? Seems like all sport-related "play ..." has an "a", but couldn't find any explanations so far.

estado vs ido

It appears to me that the better answer for "we have been" would be "hemos estado" rather than "hemos ido," which seems to me to say "we have gone." In English, there is a difference between "been" and "gone." Could you please advise. Thank you.

Grande oportunidad vs gran oportunidad

Oportunidad is a feminine noun. Why was it marked wrong when I wrote grande? The correction was to gran.

Todos vs cadaWhy can't

"I am going to answer all the questions"

be translated as
"Voy a responder todas las respuestas"

Is there a subtle difference between todas las x and cada x that I am missing?

Feminine plural adjectivesSo, for the quiz, I got this one wrong: “El gazpacho es andaluz y las sevillanas también son andaluzas”. I guess there must be a rule about feminine plural adjectives? Maybe it needs to be clarified in the lesson?

no deberías nunca salir con ellaThis is a strange example and not covered in the explanation. When is it customary to insert a word between two verbs? When else can this occur?

Está vs Hay quizOne of my quiz questions was:

¿Dónde_____una floristería, por favor?

I answered "está" but it's saying it's "hay" even though the examples shown in the lesson show

¿Dónde está el parque?

Why was I incorrect?

Hola, I'm very confused about the difference between debe haber; debe de haber; debe ser; debe de ser; debe tener. Is there a lesson on these?
