Names for the verb tenses in spanishWhen studying Spanish in Kwiziq it is very confusing that you use diferent names for the verb tenses than the online grammar references that I find. For instance: What you call Pretérito perfecto is referenced by most as Pretérito perfecto simple. What you call Pretérito indefinido is referenced as Pretérito perfecto compuesto. Am I using the wrong sources? Is there a "standard/official" name? Please see http://conjugador.reverso.net or http://www.conjugacion.es.

When would you use "este" instead of "esto" since they are both masculine and singular?

¡Tenga el cambio! -translation?I thought "¡Tenga el cambio!" would mean "have the change", not "here's the change". Can it mean both?

How does "Hace días que Laura no viene a visitarnos." fit the pattern?This was the quiz answer. I would have chosen "Laura no viene a vistarnos desde hace días." but it wasn't an option.

Should the lesson say se comes before 3rd person singular and plural verbs? The lesson says that when using se the verb is conjugated in the 3rd person singular, yet in the quiz, the verb bailar was conjugated as bailan. Does this mean the lesson should say 3rd person singular and plural?
