I would like to ask exactly the same question as Benhur

I was wondering how ir + gerund compares with andar + gerund?

"los adultos les dan caramelos, monedas o aceptan el trato"

Did you intend "aceptan el truco" ?

Hola Inma, 

The translation of the above is given as “Come up here without stepping on the white floor tiles.” This sounds like an imperative, so would it be one of the appropriate conjugations ¡Ve/Vea! etc? Or is it a typo?

Saludos. John

de punta en blanco - wordreference is giving me a different definition. could this be reviewed? thank you!

What is the rule for using "mientras" or "mientras que"?

For example:

Escribo mientras que él come. Why can't I say: Escribo mientras él come.

Él habla mientras yo leo.           Why can't I say: Él habla mientras que yo leo.   

I cannot see any difference in syntax, usage or meaning between these two sentences, yet three native speakers have all told me they would only say the first, but could not tell me why or give me any grammatical rule.  Please help... someone/anyone.

Why is the usage of nosotros as above been marked wrong

In the quiz, the sentence was :  Vas a ir con ella al teatro.  I know that it doesn't sound quite right to say "Vas a ir consigo al teatro", but why would that be incorrect?

Is it common to use hacer as "gave" in this question?  Why not use diste (dar)?
