I think I read in one of the lessons that decir was used to describe briefer statements, while contar was used when statements were more extensive or detailed.  Would it also be correct to say "Me contó que solo era cuestión de tiempo..."?

Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have? 

Why the "a" in "se llama a Honduras la Republica" . . . ?

In your example above:

should this: I don't find my keys!

be "I can't find my keys"??  (I don't find my keys sounds awkward)

The quizzes have a tendency to ask good and interesting questions that aren’t in the lessons.  Could you please add a note that “el mayor/menor” is an exception and that we don’t say “el más menor/mayor”.  Thanks.  Otherwise a great lesson!

Por dónde vas is the question to ask someone but what if I want to be more specific ? Por dónde vas en tu libro? How do I say where are you at for the book? Where are you at now at your book? 

I'm reassured to see that even Mexican reporters sometimes conjugate their verbs incorrectly.

Just wondering if we can use the preterite tense for questions or if the present perfect tense is the only option.  There are two examples of questions, both using the present perfect tense:  ¿Tú has montado en globo?   ¿Has jugado al golf alguna vez?

Thanks.
