Hay and hace both seem to use nouns but they don't seem to be interchangeable.  I'm puzzled as to why, for example, it's hace calor but hay humedad.

Why is it soy cinturón verde and not estoy cinturón verde?  as being a green belt wouldn't be a permanent position.

I was confused by the hint given for the first sentence:

Use lo que + verb + subj for emphasis ...

I interpreted "subj" as "subjunctive", and made quite a mess of my answer !

Unless this is a britishism I am unfamiliar with, I think you mean "review" instead of "revise".

I was wondering why there is no comma in some sentences containing a clause - for example:  

A medida que salían de la clase les devolvíamos los móviles a los estudiantes.

Conforme vayan llegando los invitados ofréceles una copa de vino.

Se comió ________ bocadillo. He ate half the sandwich.

medio was the correct answer. I put "el mitad de" which was marked wrong. 

EDIT: Maybe because I used "de" instead of "del"? Now it is being marked correct with that answer. If this is the case, shouldn't it show me that "el mitad del" is the correct answer? This is confusing.

Can como si be followed by subjuntivo presente? Please clarify.

In one of the above examples, "la pelicula" becomes "el peliculón", and in another "tasa" becomes "tazón".  Is there a rule for when to do this gender change?

Thanks,

Wouldn't we always use "el azúcar" for phonetic reasons?

Thanks!
