I don't understand ¿Por dónde vas? because the translation isn't good English. Do you mean 'where are you?' or 'where are you up to?' (in a book) or 'How far up the road have you got?' 

Or perhaps 'where are you at?' is modern usage that I've just never heard before. 

I’ve noticed that nouns with accents on the last syllable, such as el motín, el bastón, and el almacén, are masculine (of course the feminine ión ending is an exception).  Is this a general rule?  It helps to us automatically think of ataúd and laúd as masculine without having to remember them separately.

The instructions in the link say:

The choice of tense depends on whether the speaker is "still inside" the "unit of time" that's being used or implied:

Use the present perfect ("he ido") form when talking about the past:

- today, this week, this month, or this year

Use the indefinido ("fui") form when talking about the past:

- yesterday, last week, last month, or last year (or further back)

But then an example on the lesson page has this:

Ellos han visto el amanecer.

They saw the sunrise.

In this sentence, as with many of the quizzes, there is no way to know the context and so we have to follow the instructions as to which tense to use. Part of the fun of the quizzes is not reading the directions.

I think this is the root of the frustration here. Perhaps if more context were provided we could have a chance of answering without the addition direction needed.

I study Spanish in Guatemala where we don’t use the form vous. Is there any way that my lessons can be without the vous form? Thank you.

Hi, Why do you say: “Como es usted”  instead of: “Como esta usted”!? Gracias, Arabelle

It should be: "El armario estará listo para ser usado todo el invierno."

Also any high-school Spanish teacher would wince at the sight of all those misplaced commas.

A suggestion from a native Spanish speaker: get your reading practice from somewhere else.
