What is the responses for De donde es usted

Can you place the adjective first, like this? If not, why not?

Sevilla es una de las más bonitas ciudades de España.

A quiz question asks “vas a venir al cine mañana?”. In English it seems more common to say “are you going to go the movies tomorrow?” (or simply “are you going to the movies tomorrow?”) Any insights into this use of venir instead of ir?

Hola

1.Mi madre prepara el almuerzo a la una y media.My mum prepares lunch at half past one.
Do you have to say "el almuerzo" instead of just "almuerzo"?
2.Salgo de casa a las ocho en punto.I leave the house at eight o'clock precisely.
why is it "casa" instead of "la casa"?
Gracias,Fred

what is a plural spanish word for usted?

Hi there, I notice contar wasn’t in this list? Or is it always the case that an -ar-  verb ending in “ontar” will change its stem? 

I see quite some time has been devoted to this subject.  The first time I read the hairdresser example, the English struck me as quite wrong.  I would add my two cents as follows: 

If I went to the hairdresser, I'd spend a lot of money or If I went (had gone) to the hairdresser, I would have spent a lot of money.

Those seem to me to be the simplest way to correct it because one can't correctly say I would spent.

Is "Qué es tú nombre?" also a valid way to ask what is your name?
