I translated "I gave some flowers to your mother" as "Yo le di unas flores a tu madre". It was marked wrong and I can't work out why. I've looked at a couple of other websites and I still don't understand what I've got wrong. One site says that the "le" has to be used. The given answer didn't have "le" in it. Even if the "le" is optional, is it actually incorrect to use it, or have I got it all wrong? Thanks.

Why use  the  verb second person  plural veis  instead of ven when

there are 3 persons , Carol  Jorn and tu as the subjects of the sentence.?

Both hubo and habia mean there was or there were.  What is the difference?

By process of elimination, I selected estuvieron as being the correct answer; however, my preference would have been estaban. 

See the example given below:

Mario estaba de camarero en un restaurante.
Mario was working as a waiter in a restaurant.

Here is the question with the answer:

Mis hijos _estuvieron_ de vendedores en una tienda.
My children were working as shop assistants in a store.

My choice:
Mis hijos _estaban_ de vendedores en una tienda.

Would you explain the reason for the answer being the preterite and not the imperfect, please.

Thank you!  I also found a very good website for pronunciation, listed by diphthongs, etc at:

which might be useful.

Gracias por compartir esta canción. Me gusta mucho.

Hello!

In the example, ¿"Una iglesia"? ¿Qué es eso?, why is it eso and not esa?

“A mis verdaderos amigos los puedo contar”. Is contar like gustar?

Thanks a lot
