Tener + past participle

In the introduction to this lesson, you say the meaning is similar to using "haber plus infinitive". I think you mean haber plus past participle i.e. the perfect tense

Habra & Va a habrer

There Will be and There is going to be are identical in meaning. Is that the same for habrá and va a haber. Google translate doesn’t seem to make a distinction.

Do you have to use "usted"It appears that the word tú is dropped from the phrase ¿De dónde eres? Can you also drop usted and just say ¿De dónde es?

Why feminine?

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?

Using the '-se' suffix with vosotros?

In an e-mail entitled: "A new error has been submitted by a user [#252851]", Laura Lawless today (4th May) asked me to repost this here:

Question 6 in the [first] 'StudyPlan' quiz which I did on 3rd May, required a translation for:

"You two, wash your hair!"

The 'vosotros' part was already provided for us, so I chose:
Vosotros dos, ¡A lavaros el pelo!

However, I was marked incorrect, because you said that another possible option is:
Vosotros dos, ¡A lavarse el pelo!

>> But surely the "-se" suffix is not compatible with "vosotros"? … i.e., it has to be '-os', [only '-os', not both].

Why the imperfect is used and not the preterit in:"puesto que era mi cumpleaños "

Hello,

RE: Kwizbot puesto que era mi cumpleaños You puesto que fue mi cumpleaños

I was wondering why the imperfect was used here and not the preterit since the birthday was yesterday, which is a definite period in time and is now complete.

Thank you.

'A vosotros' and 'os'Hi there,

I had the question pasted below, but how is it that it can be both vosotros and os in the same sentence? And why isn't the gusta plural?
Thanks!
A vosotros no ________ este documental, ¿verdad?You [plural] don't like this documentary, do you?

Answer: os gusta
