Why does "la" translate to "your" and not "the" In English? Example "quítate la ropa" translates to "take off your clothes" but "la ropa" translates to "the clothes" so why isn't there "the"? 

¿Podemos decir también: “No hay baile en el mundo más español que un pasodoble”? Entiendo que no es exactamente igual pero significa lo mismo, ¿no?

Can "esto" be used as a demonstrative pronoun?  For example, esto libro?

How would you say the noun "width" in spanish?  I have seen the word "ancho" used as a noun for width but I thought that the word "ancho" was a adjective.  Can "ancho" be used as both a noun and an adjective?  I have also seen the word "anchura" used as "width", but it seems to be less common?

If I wanted to say 'i may be going away on that day'  would I use ir, irse or another verb? Also, would the verb be in the subjunctive?

Thanks in advance

“Usted tendría que devolver los

artículos en la caja. (You would have

to return the articles at the till.)

HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El

Condicional Simple.

“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster: 

till

 noun (1)

Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)

I wrote, La pantilla hizo huelga, but it was marked wrong, and the correct answer was El personal hizo huelga. Isn't la pantilla the same as el personal? 

¡Gracias!

Hi, I've just come across a use of estar + hecho that I didn't know before: 
  Tu hermano está hecho un hombretón. 

That doesn't seem to be quite the same as the usage here, and I cannot find any reference to this kind of estar + hecho elsewhere on kwiziq...

I was hoping to learn Mexican pronunciation  but you use the Spanish pronunciation using the th sound instead of c sound.  Are the listening exercises also going to use the vosotros  grammar forms or Mexican grammar?

Do you mean that *ese* is used when both conditions are true or just one?
