Spanish language Q&A Forum

I've been reading a book in print and they have "este" (no accent) as the demonstrative adjective and "éste" (accent) as the demonstrative pronoun:

esta casa (adj.)
ésta es mi casa (pron.)

But I don't see that in this lesson. Is it out of date/RAE stuff or is it only included when ambiguous and my book is being overzealous?

Also, there was a really cool little fact in the book that said that "aquél" and "éste" are used in the same way that "former" and "latter" are in English. I'm still confused as to whether the accent is necessary or optional for pronouns, however.

Where is the word for " fire " in the model answer . Why has it been omitted ?

The listening practice with the transcript is excellent.  At this level, these are the types of exercises that help the most

Thank you

is this correct? i worked in that company durante un año y 3 meses. or should i use the (por) ?

Kwizbot says the correct answer is "Enciendes tú."  Why does excluding the "tú" make my answer incorrect? 

3. Mis amigos __ _______ ________________(venir) * a la fiesta de Roberto mi hermano.

How does one conjugate the present subjunctive?  

I just started B1 and am being tested on it already without having been introduced to it...?

Thanks!

The lesson re colors states specifically that, with regard to ROSA,

“It is ALSO CORRECT to use the ending -as for both masculine and feminine plurals. Yet this was marked incorrect in my most recent quiz
