Link with the "must have done" with the verb deber?

Could I suggest adding a link to the aforementioned lesson so that that it's a little easier to see them difference between must have and should have?

A possible suggestion

HI- It might be helpful to also clarify that you don't use a possessive when speaking of part of your body. For example: as shown above, "My leg hurts" would be translated as "THE leg hurts me" "Me duele LA pierna" ,

NOT as we would more commonly say in English, "My leg hurts me" "Me duele MI pierna".

EstaDoes "Esta" not indicate location? In the lesson and examples, it seems that "ser" is used to denote location? Am I incorrect in this?

Difference between the tenses

Would another way of explaining the difference be to say that in English you could get the meaning of the imperfect by saying "The teacher [was] opened[ing] the door" and the indefinido as "The teacher [had] opened the door"

Hubo vs Habia

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.
