En ventanilla

Why is it “compramos dos billetes de ida y vuelta en ventanilla” and not LA ventanilla? I don’t think I’ve seen this before, it doesn’t seem to fit with the other rules on definite articles?

Tiene Usted still being taught but also still being counted as wrong

"Do you have a cellphone?" (formal) = "Tiene usted un celular".

Yes yes yes, I know it's more common to have "Usted tiene" but that is also more ambiguous of a statement vs a question. "Tiene usted" leaves no question of it AND it's presented in the lesson as possible and I was still marked wrong saying I should have just used "Tiene". That is a real basic mistake for a website that I trust to teach me more Spanish than I have learned on Duolingo, especially when Inma already stated below apparently you added it to correct answers a year ago.

Nouns that are plural

Hi,

My answer "algunas vacaciones largas" was marked wrong and "unas vacaciones largas" was given as the correct answer for "some long vacations." Why is algunas wrong? The lesson doesn’t address either unas or algunas.

Thanks. K

What about tampoco?

Do the grammar rules for "nunca" here also apply for "tampoco". Consider the following four sentences.

Ella no pudo entender tampoco la pregunta.

Ella no pudo entender la pregunta tampoco.

Ella no pudo tampoco entender la pregunta.

Ella tampoco pudo entender la pregunta.

Regular -er verbs in el presente.

Estos ingredientes los cocemos en una olla ....

This one was a bit mean! Cocer is not truly a regular -er verb. True, its endings are the same as those for regular verbs but the stem changes in most forms.
