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"

Omission of plural definite articleI notice that the translation of "I never go to rock concerts" omits the plural definite article. This seems unusual for Spanish. Is there a specific reason?

Is there any way I can go back over tests I have taken as a review. I think I could learn more about sentence structure. Thank you.

Gerund v Past Participle

Please could you explain the following:

Los chicos estaban sentados en el borde de la piscina. correct
Los chicos estaban sentando en el borde de la piscina. not correct
The boys were sitting on the edge of the pool.

I am pretty sure that I have been taught to use the gerund rather than than the past participle in this kind of an example.

Many thanks (Mainland Spain)

How is it the sentence “Dónde tienes el dinero” is translated as an exclamation instead of an interrogatory?In English, to ask a question a compound verb is split into “do/have/are etc. -pronoun- root verb form. The use of exclamation points instead of question marks does not make sense.

Alberto llora ________ a menudo.

I don't understand why I am told that it should be "Alberto llora MUY a menudo".

Everything; the lesson included; tells me it should be "mucho".
