do you have ANY animals in the house?

The English asked for "any animals" on that last sentence. So would the better translation be ¿ tienes algunos animales en casa?

First on the list....

The test asked me for the correct verb to use with the sentence "Tu ***** la primero de la lista" - this seemed to be a temporary thing, so I chose "estas". The right answer was "eres" - i.e. a permanent state.

I am confused - can anyone explain why use ser rather than estar in this case?

La última oración - "tanto políticos como sociales" ???????

I don't understand why "tanto" shouldn't be "tantas" since it is an adjective that modifies "políticas como sociales" - please help? ( I read the section on use of "tanto, tanta, tantos, tantas")

Indicative or subjunctive?

Does this construction always require indicative or can it also be used with subjunctive?

An example with a verb, as well as a noun?

I was directed to this (very useful !) lesson - i.e., Using tener + past participle to express the completion of an action (perífrasis verbal) - from a C1 writing exercise ["Charity Kings' Parade] - to explain the structure of this sentence: "Tengo pensado llevar un paraguas". < This is actually a bit different from the examples given in the lesson, because it is not a noun which we "tenemos pensado"; instead it is the verb "llevar" … [so no noun-agreement is required? - i.e. would we still keep the participle "pensado" unchanged if we said "Tengo pensado llevar mis botas de goma"?] … Thus, it might be useful to add, to the lesson, an example along these lines, i.e., where "Tengo pensado" is followed immediately by a verb.

These sentence examples are too confusing

Let's see -at what moment in time?- you find a good job!

Let's see - at the time that- you find a good job!

As you can see both options work in this context, and I can use lots of examples like this but to understand the difference we need sentences which cannot work as both options
