Hello, is there some connotation needed for this to trigger the Preterite? Like "These two centuries out of the 5000 years we're talking about"? Or at least "These two very specific centuries"? As opposed to "For two full centuries, which is pretty much forever", where I would have expected the Imperfect.

“Tiene algo que declarar/hacer” but “Tiene algo de comer” or sometimes “Tiene algo para comer.”  How does one know which one to use when?

The question asked for the vosotros form, which I'm not even studying, and then the answer was for ustedes. 

INTRANSITIVE VERB

Hola,

This looks to me like a passive construction. Yes /No?

Is there a lesson about using it this way?

Gracias. John

I put "y nos bronceamos en tumbonas." Is this wrong? 

This is an interesting construction. is there a lesson that deals with it?

It would seem to me that 'a su madre' should be after ve. could K say ... ve a su madre llegar?

would this sentence be more suitable to be translated to i almost did not reach on time for my appointment, rather than i almost missed my appointment?

Casi no llego a mi cita a tiempo. No he escuchado el despertador esta mañana.I almost missed my appointment. I didn't hear the alarm this morning.

Doesn't rosado also mean pink?

How would I say someone else is doing something to another person and not themselves? Like if my mom is a hair stylist and she's combing someone else's hair.  Like in "Mi madre se peina el pelo con un cepillo nuevo." Would I need to put something like "el pelo de la mujer" or with the personal a like "el pelo a la mujer"
