Why is this being marked incorrectly?

Te ________ hasta que me aburrí y me fui.I was waiting for you until I got bored and left.

Twice now I have entered 'estaba' but the correct answer is shown to be 'estuve'. I thought that when an action is either interrupted or where there is no specific beginning or end, it's the imperfect. Can you please clarify? Thank you.

reflexive verbs versus passive "se"Is there an example of a use of tardarse that is not in the third person? If not, is it a reflexive verb really?

Mano becomes Manaza?The explanatory notes say that even if the body part is feminine it always uses azo rather than aza but the answer here for large hands was manazas. Shouldn't it be manazos?

Use of the 'el' with infinitive as nounhi the lesson seems to say that use of infinitive with or without the 'el' are equally correct, but in the Micrquiz Q2, 'wake up to ...' if I answer without the 'el' its marked wrong. Is there then more subtlety to this topic than is in the lesson, if so maybe the lesson needs deepening a bit? Robin

Using demonstrative pronouns: este/esta & sacamos/tomamosTomamos esa foto en Madrid pero tomamos éste en Barcelona.

Please, why is este marked wrong and esta given as the correct one? I can't work out why foto (masc) has esta (female) and not este. Is it because its BarcelonA?

And why sacamos and not tomamos?

Gracias.

Conjugated gustar

Hi, I was a bit surprised to see this use of "gustar" as none of the books I have mention this usage i.e. Barron's 501 verbs, shows only that this verb is used in the third person, etc. Would it be a Iberian usage? I am in Canada and study Latin American Spanish [looking forward to that distinction in your program:) -- any news on that?]

Thank you. Nicole
