In the test question "My grandmother has gray hair" why do you use tiene instead of the familiar form "tienes". You are referring to YOUR grandmother. Wouldn't that be familiar?

In the dictado exercise Carbón (A2) there is a sentence, I was very good, Yo fui buenísima that corrects to fuí with a tilde yet I can find no source that uses a tilde with fui. Is this an error? Also the word buenísima does not appear in my New World Spanish/English dictionary, if I Google buenísima it reverse translates to muy bien but this exchanges a adjective for a adverb. What's going on here?

Hi

I don't understand the following verbs. Where to use era, where to use fui?? Both are used in past tense.

Eg

Yo fui primero de mi clase el año pasado.

Here fui represents ' I was'

Yo era el más pequeño de la familia.I was the smallest in the family.
Here also era represents 'I was'.  Why can't we use fui here? What is the difference? Please clear me anybody..

Hello, May I ask when to use donde vives and de donde eres? how to use it and what's the difference? hehe. We have a Spanish subject and I was thought that my answer in donde vives is where my house is located. On the other hand, my municipality is the answer in the question de donde eres.

Why is there an "s" when asking "Como te llamas?" but not for "Como se llama usted?" I understand that usted is formal, but why the change in llama(s)?
