Con el no me divierto. Why isn't the explanation logical?

I get it.  Le is not the correct answer for a reason, but not the reason given in the lesson examples.  Just because the preposition "con" is always followed by a subject pronoun is insufficient explanation.  It implies that "con" was already a given, but it was not.  I believe that "le" is an indirect object/pronoun and therefore not correct.

why no "nuestra?"

In the second example, Nosotros redecoramos la casa hace unos meses, given that the intended meaning is "our house," why isn't it written "nuestra la casa. . ?" Thanks.

I can't find arrascar in dictionaries

Hello is this verb correct- "arrascar"? I didn't find it in the spanishdict.com and other dictionaries I use. There is only "rascar".

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?

Explanation not a great matchThis is the sentence and hint for it talking about ongoing action in the past:Mi abuelo nunca ________ con la ventana abierta.My grandfather never slept with the window open.(HINT: Refers to an ongoing action in the past.)
When you click on 'discuss this' the explanation talks about past in general vs. specific time in the past, not much of a help to understand the ongoing action bit. For me it sounds a lot like repeated action/habit anyway.
Cheers, ALEX

Thanksgiving Day

Kwizbot     Desgraciadamente, no había más pavo en el supermercado 
You             Lamentablemente, no había pavo en el supermercado

I was wondering if  “Lamentablemente” would be acceptable here and if not, why not.

Thank you.

Present or Present Perfect?

Hablo inglés perfectamente desde los trece años.  I speak perfect English since the age of 13. (since I was 13)

This sounds very Spanglish to me.  Surely it's   I have spoken perfect English since the age of 13

(The neighbours had a barbeque and we could smell all the delicious food from our garden.) I would like to ask why the preposition "a" is not used?
