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,

Marcos

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

Thanks!

Can I opt out of using the vosotros form?

should be benéfico

also wrong in the list of vocabulary at the beginning

I see that you have a full list of -iar verbs that will carry a stress mark in conjugation, and I wonder whether you have a similar list for -uar verbs. thanks

Here's the -iar verb list:

The title of the page is:   forming el Imperfecto Progresivo con estar + gerundio  but the next paragraph jumps to the Pretérito Imperfecto:

“In the case of El Pretérito Imperfecto, this is how the progressive tense is formed.”

Is the pretérito imperfecto and the imperfecto progresivo the same tense, just a different name?

Thank you.

Wow, even after listening this 15 times, I couldn't make head nor tail from this question (¿Puedes creértelo?).

Why do we use the subjunctive here when something is unknown, but when we use 'aunque' it is the other way around?  By that, I mean that we only use the subjunctive when the information is shared and the indicative is used to introduce new information.
