I see many sources that calesquiera should always go after the noun, is this correct?

la oscuridad - las tinieblasInstead of "... para ir a su puesto de trabajo en la oscuridad", would it be wrong to write .. en las tinieblas, or does it sound somehow absurd?

Thank you so much!

Question on the use of "lo" in this example:

In the example: "Su hijo quiere que ustedes lo escuchen."

Would this be translated:  Your son wants you to listen to it?  As if it is a recording or radio announcement, etc? 

Why the use of "lo" for "him" and not "le"?

Thanks,

Kaly

Alguna in singular vs plural

In the quiz question 

He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿ quieres ver _____ ?  

The answer was the singular alguna, and I only knew this from the hint. It seems like the person who was offering to share the photos was being stingy only allowing 1 or 2 photos to share. Would it be wrong if I had a stack of 20 photos to say, Quieres ver algunas? It seems to be a more generous approach to allow another person to see more than just a select 1 or 2 photos.

Por qué "está delicioso" y no "es delicioso"?

Since its being implied that this is a permanent trait of Colombian coffee?

Use of accent on "cuando"

Why is the accent on "cuando" in this answer? It doesn't appear to be a question. Is it considered an indirect sentence because the narrator is quoting the screen?

La pantalla no dice ________ aterriza el avión.The screen doesn't say when the plane is landing.

EDIT January 12: I see that there is a lesson in B1 about use of the accent. However, I'm still in A2, so maybe there could be a link to that lesson where I was in A2? It only said when to use the accent, not when not to. Thanks.

imperfecto vs pretérito

In the example sentence. "Nos felicitaron porque habíamos aprobado todo con una nota alta," why is haber in the imperfect? I think of passing or failing something as something that happens in a moment -- you receive your grade and either it is pass or fail -- not as an ongoing state of being. Could one say "hubimos aprobado" or would that be wrong?
