Podemos utilizar varias formas... no hay sólo una.

Es lo mismo igual que/ tan como, se asemejan y se pueden utilizar.

Tan rojas como las cerezas/ rojas igualnque las cerezas, es el mismo significado, e. El mismo tiempo.

Better explanation

I wish it was better explained when to use this tense instead of just giving examples

Why Imperfecto?I don't understand why this is preterito imperfecto. "The little ones ate sweets and sandwiches at the party" does not sound like it's describing a situation. It sounds like an action completed in the past, therefore preterito indefinido. "The little ones were eating sweets and sandwiches at the party" sounds like it's describing a situation - but that's not what the question says.

I didn’t understand the phrase “contaros todo cada día”, specifically the conjugation of contaros. I wasn’t able to find that conjugation anywhere.

te parece = advice or doubts¿Te parece bien que yo mande los e-mails?

This triggers subjunctive. may i ask if this is because this sentence is asking for advice?

Because i remember that only negative construction of opinions will trigger subjunctive, for example i dont think that = no creo que..

or is this understanding of mine wrong too?

thanks

This is NOT AO level crap.

Are you Duh-lingo or something?

Who dreams up these "tests"? The jerk who runs Duh-lingo? Waldo?

Un tazón o una tazona?Since ‘a cup of coffee’ is, ‘una taza de café’; why is the augmentation in the masculine despite there being a feminine version?

¡Qué tazón de café me he tomado esta mañana!

I had a really big cup of coffee this morning!

Your answer to Marcos does not explain why a feminine version exists since, as you say, 'When we form a noun using the augmentative suffix -ón, the new word is always masculine, regardless of the gender of the originating noun. This is because nouns ending in -ón are generally masculine’.
