Ellos proveyeron de alimentos a los damnificados.
They provided food to the victims.

Where does the 'de' come from here?

 I am afraid I didn't meet , as yet,  this expression in English and thus, I don't know its meaning. So, can't say if it is "por" or "para" ..

(probably  the Spanish sentence has a well defined meaning but, with my poor Spanish, can't say what is this meaning..

Let's see when you find a good job! -- I think that this could be answered with either form of cuando/cuándo depending on context:

Let's see (at what point in time - cuádo) you find a good job.

Let's see (when (if) you find a good job - cuando)

I chose the latter and was marked wrong.

"Yo sumerjo mis manos en el agua." Why is it "mis manos" rather than "las manos"? Thanks.

The answer to ‘they were about to finish their exam’ is given as ‘Han estado a punto de...’   

there’s no sense that this is the situation of ‘but something intervened’, and it doesn’t feel like a natural ‘perfecto’ tense to me, more just an action in the past. So I’m wondering why the perfecto was chosen here?

Please forgive me. I am having difficulty writing the sentences.

It should be:

But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:

Tengo algo que contarte

When 'para' is used in the other two examples

Hope I did not confuse you too much.

I would like to ak why is the accent in the audio on the second syllable?

I'm confused by the use of third person (instead of first person) of haber. Why is the sentence not "Ultimamente, me he dado por flirtear con mi jefe"?

Hola,

If agua is a feminine noun that takes 'el" in the singular, would it be correct to say ...... para usarlo? I tried it and was marked wrong, so can you help me understand it.

Many thanks
