why are "they are always eating chocolate" "Ellos siempre están comiendo chocolato", and not "Ellos siempre está comiendo chocolato"?

I would say that it is 99% certain it is the Gypsy Kings, but i cannot seem to identify the track a the start of the video, as it is so similar to Canastero but it is different, more upbeat. Please can you tell me the track 

I answered this as "estan pidiendo"

But the exam says the right answer is "piden". 

Isn't "estan pidiendo" more accurate answer?

Also, when the subjunctive is used is it always part of the cuando clause?

I am having trouble understanding the difference between "perderse" and "perder" in the context of missing an opportunity.  For example, if you were talking to someone about not coming to a move with you, could you say "perdiste la oportunidad de ver la pelicula"?  Could you also say "te perdiste la pelicula"?  Would both of these be correct? 

"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..?  (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

"quien había fallecido"

Just wondering, why is it que in the first example and quien in the second?

Hi,

I am confused about when to include an 'a' between two consecutive verbs.  My search seems to indicate the it depends on the former verb.  If so, is it something that has to be memorised with the verb or is there a rule of thumb?

Thanks and regards,

Colin
