I am very confused. In the above lesson it describes when to use poder in the preterite indefinido.

in this lesson there seems to be No specific moment in the past or where speaker is outside the time frame 

This lesson "Conjugate poder in the preterite tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Indefinido)" it describes when to use the preterite indfinido when referring to a specific moment in past  and time it happened is relevent OR referes to pastwhere speakersees themselves outside the time frame

Why do we say "pasear al perro" instead of "pasear el perro". Why is the "al" used?

What difference would it make if I used esté instead of estuviera?

Hi, is the reason for not using an indefinite article with acento that acento is an uncountable noun? Thanks, 

Shirley. 

Hello, I also fell into the trap of "puedes ver publicidad" but it was not shown as being an acceptable answer, 10 months after the last reply here.

Is this common usage in both spoken and written Spanish? Is it more common in Spain than in Latin America? (i.e. Will there be raised eyebrows if I use it in Mexico, like there often are when I use "cover?") Thanks!

This is marked wrong with continúa as the answer (my answer), yet continúa is the correct answer for the present tense and according to your own "help" text. There seems to be a lot of sloppy "teaching" in Progress Spanish lately.

I always thought "lo" meant "the thing", is this correct in some other context?

¿Bajo las AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS, no debería ser "tráelos"?
