Let's see if you folks can explain it in a fashion where it makes some degree of sense.  Because based on this, you are wrong.

wouldn't "on the other hand" be a better translation for: por otro lado?

I am confused about these. The lesson says they are interchangeable, but  when I do the quizzes I get marked incorrect for choosing - for example - apenas instead of en cuanto. Can anyone help clarify this?

You told how not say each person is different.    How do we say it.

or also each dog is different.   or is it just people.

How would you answer these questions?  

¿Conoce Ud. nuestros productos gourmets?  No, solamente alguno. or No solamente algunos.  ¿Prefiero Ud. todos los quesos de la caja? No, solamente alguno.  or No, solamente algunos. ¿Desea Ud. estas frutas frescas? No, solamente algunas. or No, solamente alguna.

 Here the newspaper is sold cheaply.

I realize "barato" can work as an adjective or an adverb, but given its placement within the sentence used in the example, this reads to me like "The cheap newspaper is sold here," as if the expensive newspaper is sold across the street—they probably charge you just to look at the headlines!

It seems as if porque would convey the same idea and is probably more often used in conversation.  So is de tanto more formal, literary or is it used in the street?

Isn't it the same topic as "Gerundio"?
