Are YOU going to work now?  why is this answer not vas?

¿Se puede usar “¿Te anima a visitar Paris?”  o sería mejor decir “¿Te animas a visitar Paris?” ? Me parecen posibles las dos preguntas.

The question reads, "How would you say "The person I went to the party with was my father."

==============================================

The below answer was marked as a correct answer.

"La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre."

==============================================

Why use the pronoun, la, when the object is padre, a man?

Thank you, James

Could we hide parenthesized hints when it is time to test without them? I am reaching the level where learning is becoming ingrained such that I feel that I know the answers without being told, for example,. "refers to a past action that has been completed".

Los niños, jugando en el parque, nos recordanban a nuestra infancia.

The boys, playing in the park, reminded us of our childhood.

hello 

when to use (la) or (lo) to refer to a person? if she or he is the direct object? because of the quiz had cases for la and lo, i would properly mixing them with le. 

Regarding complex grammatical explanations: flowcharts and decision trees would be incredibly helpful adjuncts to the explanations given. The human brain responds more easily to visual representations of complex logic than it does to textual explanations. That is why they are so prominently used in science and mathematics. Just sayin'

1. Cuando is always used with past tenses in the indicative ….
2. If we use past tenses in the subjunctive with Cuando …

There appears to be a direct contradiction above: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement #1, it is stated that Cuando must be in the indicative mood
in statement #2, it is stated that Cuando may be in the subjunctive mood.

I don't understand the difference between hubo and habia. They seem to mean the same thing. What is the difference between them and when do you use one as opposed to the other.
