Hi, what does A mean here? Can it be omitted and still be grammatically correct? 

Thanks a lot,

Shirley. 

A good, easy read, very well-narrated

what's the difference between usted and vosotros?

Can I use debo instead of debería? For example: 

Hello,

Can anyone please explain the use of ser in these 2 examples? Both are describing temporary states (I think.) They are from a video that has many sentences to translate..  This seems not to accord with the normal use of ser.

1. No sea tonto.  (I would tanslate this as "Don't act silly." We are not saying "You are a silly person."}
2. Era obvio que el conductor no había sido lo suficientemente cuidadoso.  (I don't think this is a passive construction. Shouln't this be "no había estado"?)

Why are there pronouns attached to the verbs in the first three examples but not in the remaining examples?   

The first and third examples are reflexive (which explains those), but what about the second one ("comerlos")?  Thanks.

"ordered"...not order
