Why is it "El cartero pasa todos los días a las tres de la tarde" instead of ""El cartero pasa todos los días a las tres por la tarde"? I thought we learned that it should be en, a, or por to express a specific time of the day? 

I recall that an earlier lesson mentioned the phrase "entre si" meaning "among themselves". The pronoun "si" seems to be the object version of the reflexive pronoun "se". When following the preposition "con", it also contracts to "consigo" just like "conmigo" and "contigo". The word "consigo" is also the same form as the first person present tense indicative mode of "conseguir". Maybe these discussions can be added to this lesson? Also, let me know if the pronoun "si" carries an accent or not. I think there is but I am not sure. Thank you. 

What are the rules for conjucating "acabe de"? Is it:

yo: acabo detu: acababas deel/ella/ud: acaba denosotros: acababamos devosotros: ?ellas/ellos/uds: acababan de

In the quiz asking for “half a sandwich”, I put “la mitad de un bocadillo” instead of “medio bocadillo” and was marked incorrect.  

Is my answer in fact incorrect or just not what the answer was looking for? When we say “half a sandwich” in English, my understanding is that it is really shorthand for “half (of) a sandwich” and so I thought either “la mitad de” or “medio” would be correct - perhaps that is not true in Spanish?  

Thanks in advance for your explanation.

Why was "recoger" used in the sentence "you must tidy up your room" instead of the verb "arreglar"?

If I understand this right, this conditional tense can be used both for what was possible/probable in the past as well as for what could be/would be for the future?

I am used to seeing this tense in sentences such as

¿Podría llamarme mañana?

Could you call me tomorrow?/ Would you be able to call me tomorrow?

The question is:

Qué ________ por ese chico?What do you feel for that guy?

The answer given was sientes. However for me a possible answer to the question could be "I feel happy for him" which translates (hopefully) into Me siento feliz para él. So should the answer to your question not the reflexive "te sientes"
