My dictionary says fruit (the plant) is la fruta. Why is the sentence -Los frutos rojos  and not las frutas rojas ? 

Can you add Chao or Ciao for Good bye?

Buenas días 

I understand Afectar is a transitive verb, which requires a direct object (without a preposition).

I saw these sentences:

La nueva ley no afecta al pequeño empresario.

La falta de oxígeno afecta al cerebro.

I'm curious to know why these two sentences use a preposition "a".

Muchas gracias

This sentence was marked as incorrect:

Cuando ella abra sus regalos en navidad a menudo tiene perfume.

The english translation was that often when she opens presents she gets perfume. Doesn't that denote possibility in the future and so it should be subjunctive?

The last subsection, Difference between todo/-a and cada, explains something entirely different.

I'm curious what the content of the missing chapter should be.

Hola. How do express the difference between "The students must not use a calculator" (in the examples), and "The students DON"T HAVE TO use a calculator." which has a very different meaning. Thank you! 

Can you tell me why this is wrong?  "Les seguiré contando más cosas sobre esta tradición a condición de que vengan el año que viene." This is from https://spanish.kwiziq.com/my-languages/spanish/tests/overview/573782

Muchas Gracias - Michelle

Why is ‘has been …ing’ sometimes el Pretérito perfecto progresivo and other times a perífrasis verbal?     eg:

Carlos lleva trabajando en ese colegio dos años.

Carlos has been working in that school for two years. 

Laura has been seeing her boyfriend secretly.
