This is my first lesson at B1, (yay) but it seems to assume i ready know the subjunctive conjugations. Should I just skip it, and wait until I get lessons on the subjunctive?

Is it incorrect to not use the contraction in Spanish.  Whereas, in English, it is NOT incorrect to not use the contraction.  For example, "do not" is as acceptable as "don't."  Is "a el" acceptable, or incorrect?  Thank you.

Should the 2nd example above not have read   ' you may well have been ill'  without the 'as' which would be said in different circumstances  e,g,  you may as well have been ill for all the good you did   ??

In the example sentence, “ Tengo que ir al supermercado. Me falta fruta y carne.”, should the verb be faltan, since the subject of the sentence is fruta y carne?

1. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Enséñamelo, por favor.

2. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Me lo enseñas, por favor.

What is the difference between these two options?  Why is the second one incorrect? To me they both sound acceptable.  Thanks  

________ todas las flores en jarrones de barro.

She had put all the flowers in clay vases.

Puso

Fue a poner

Tenía puestas

Ha puesto

I got this right because I recognized the lesson it was from, but I don't understand why "ha puesto" would be wrong. 

How do you write the filling sentence using Ser format? The friends of Arkansas.

I looked at the comments regarding quería and querría .  But I do not see anyone asking abut Quisiera as I translation for "I would like".  Would that also be translated in the present.

Also, I thought that when the speaker says what she would like, that part of the sentence would not be subjunctive.Although, I think that when an English speaker says "I would like you to .. . ." as opposed to "I want you to..." the former is softer, I just have a lot of trouble with the subjunctive and to be sure I understand this part of it
