Tiene marked incorrect

Hola Buenas dias,

Ustedes tiene was marked incorrect, as it is optional to used ustedes, it should be marked correct as in the

lessons it was stated as both to be correct!

Add a "Y" not replace an "I" ??

Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."

But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms". Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.

Have I understood the lesson correctly?

subjunctive mood

Not sure why the subjunctive mood is apparently triggered by Aún in thefirst line? Is it because the sentence refers to something that has not actually happened?

Comma question

In the sentence "Al calentar la leche me quemé" I feel like in English we would use a comma between 'leche' and 'me' to separate the two clauses. Is this not the case in Spanish? (I might have it wrong in English.)

For this question, why is the answer "ustedes?"

I don't understand why the answer is "ustedes." The speaker seems to be talking to a single child which would suggest singular, familiar and not formal and plural. Help me understand why.
