Where do you want to eat when we go out tonight?

Hi, can you clarify this question? In my opinion this is a question about something that WILL happen. It seems to me that the situation is that it is already decided that we will go out tonight, so I answered with the indicative:

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salimos esta noche?

but the correct answer was given as:

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salgamos esta noche?

Can you explain this a little more? I'm clearly missing some nuance.

Thanks!

Anda y venga

Can anda and venga be used the same way? Come on!

I have also heard " anda anda!" Is that just for emphasis?

indefinido and imperfecto

I don't understand why the imperfect "Teníamos que llevar" is used and not the preterite. After studying again when to use imperfect, it would seem that this sentence is " We used to have to wear" or "We were having to wear", whereas "We had to wear" would be "Tuvimos que llevar". I can't see how the phrase "We had to wear protective hats" suggests it is ongoing and not completed. Obviously I'm wrong but I don't get it.

Differentiating between á an à

Hello,

What is the difference between á and à? I've been studying Spanish for a few months in America and this the first time I have seen à. "Yo vivo en el barrio Gràcia" was on my studyplan.

Question about explanation and examples

In the examples using past actions in the main clause, either the pretérito imperfecto or the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo are used. However, in the explanation it says the pretérito indefinido or the plusucmaperfecto.

Question 8 and the verb 'trabajar'

For Question 8 I answered 'trabaje' believing it to be the correct subjunctive form but it was marked incorrect and 'trabaja' was given as the correct answer. Would you please explain. Many thanks.

Question on one quiz answer unrelated to lesson topic

In the quiz answer 'Cuando bebe leche, siente como si fuera a vomitar', why is 'siente' not 'se siente' used?
