I'm not sure I understand why despierta is used here and not despierto (1st person conjugated)A veces espero a mi hija despierta hasta que llega a casa

Is it because despierta is being used as an adjective here? Thank you

‘Hasta’ for to a place?

As far as I can see, the text doesn’t discuss ‘hasta’ which is listed as an option in the answers but marks as wrong. My dictionary seems to have some examples where ‘hasta’ is used for movement towards a place. What is the distinction?

Cuando + presente de Subjuntivo to express future intentionsHow would you say "When she opens her presents at Christmas she often gets perfume"? The answer given is: "Cuando ella abre sus regalos en navidad a menudo tiene perfume." The present subjunctive for abrir (3rd person) is abra, no?

Reflexive verb maquillarse

I was taught to use the phrase, "maquillarse la cara".  Is "maquillar su cara" natural to say in Spanish?  

I wrote "voy a maquillarle la cara", and I think this is also correct.

I have seen “sometimes” translated as a veces. Is that wrong? Should it always be algunas veces?

Hola, estoy confundido con respecto a "que" frente "lo que". Por ejemplo: Lo que hago no es asunto tuyo. ¿Es acceptable que no uso "lo" en ese caso?

Request vs command and pronoun orderin the micro quiz, the option of “por favor Marta, les trae unas copas de vino” is considered incorrect. However, it could be a request rather than a command, using a more formal 3rd person Ud form, for example, where Marta is an older person than the speaker. I consider this option as possibly correct, and certainly NOT incorrect - it just doesn’t fit with the lesson very well, but that doesn’t make it wrong.
