Using the '-se' suffix with vosotros?

In an e-mail entitled: "A new error has been submitted by a user [#252851]", Laura Lawless today (4th May) asked me to repost this here:

Question 6 in the [first] 'StudyPlan' quiz which I did on 3rd May, required a translation for:

"You two, wash your hair!"

The 'vosotros' part was already provided for us, so I chose:
Vosotros dos, ¡A lavaros el pelo!

However, I was marked incorrect, because you said that another possible option is:
Vosotros dos, ¡A lavarse el pelo!

>> But surely the "-se" suffix is not compatible with "vosotros"? … i.e., it has to be '-os', [only '-os', not both].

So using la/las to indicate hour (hora), not the time (tiempo) that is why it's feminine? - A que hora? not A que tiempo?

Singular vs. Plural

No leiste ningún libro de italiano.

For "any Italian books" why is this not "nigunos libros italianos"?

Isn't Quiz ambiguous?

"Hurry, Run!" Can I interpret "Hurry" as Command, too? If so, none of the options is appropriate.

Confusing sentence

Los adultos compran este calendario para los niños porque tienen chocolates y son deliciosos.

Tienen is plural while calendario is singular. So who have the chocolates? The adults or the children? Neither makes sense.

This sentence is funny in a way because you could read as the children have chocolates and the children are delicious. I guess the adults buy the calendar to lull the children, to capture them and eat them. Yum, delicious children:-)

mi corazón iba a explotarHola Inma,

could you, please, explain why " mi corazón me iba a explotar/estalar" is not valid? I' ve always had a problem with this kind of expression.

Saludos

Using "la" as IO or DO?

"La" is only used as the feminine for a direct object, correct? So in this example from the lesson the first "her" (se) is the indirect object of "dar" but the the second "her" is a direct object of "ver"?

Se lo daré cuando la vea.

I will give it to her when I see her.

If the second "her" were an indirect object, it would be "le", right? For example, is this correct?

Se lo daré cuando le hable.
I will give it to her when I talk to her.

Thank you!
