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].
He visto = present perfect that is not finish still in today continuing. Why in above translate do say to as mean that saw that is v2??
In the quiz question: "Todos los estudiantes son estadounidenses ________. All the students are from the United States except us." the question refuses any answer with "nosotras". Surely "nosotras" should be as equally possible as "nosotros" in this response, or am I misunderstanding?
No leiste ningún libro de italiano.
For "any Italian books" why is this not "nigunos libros italianos"?
I believe that a couple of the examples used are commands (Imperatives), not subjunctive. Please clarify. Thanks
example:
¿Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?[on the phone, lit: speak to me] Hello? - Hello, may I speak to Juan?
Los adultos compran este calendario para los niños porque tienen chocolates y son deliciosos.
Tienen is plural while calendario is singular. So who have the chocolates? The adults or the children? Neither makes sense.
This sentence is funny in a way because you could read as the children have chocolates and the children are delicious. I guess the adults buy the calendar to lull the children, to capture them and eat them. Yum, delicious children:-)
In English, "to hear" is a passive act to the person. It happens to them, whether they wanted it to or not. "To listen" is an active effort by the person. "If one listens well, he will hear it." The Spanish dictionary says that "oir" is to hear. However, "escuchar" can mean "to listen" or "to hear". Is that correct?
"La escuché cantando" could mean "I listened to her singing" or "I heard her singing". ??
Is that right?
Thanks
The question
________ a vuestra pregunta.I am answering your question.HINT: Conjugate "contestar" in El Presente Continuo.
I understand the answer Estoy contestando buy why is the preposition "a" included in the original sentence. "Vuestra pregunta" is not a person. Estoy contestando a vuestra amiga
