Your article says: "In most places El Pretérito Indefinido will be used with "nunca" and "siempre" and even with time expressions which have a connection to the present, such as: hoy, este mes, este año, esta noche, esta mañana, esta semana..."

On a quiz, I used the indefinido in a question with a "time expression which has a connection to the present" (i.e. "hoy") and got the question wrong-- it was corrected to the perfecto. 

Is there something wrong with what I did? Are the quizes looking for peninsular or latin american answers? 

I learned that when referring to parts of the body, not to use the pronoun mi because it is understood that it is my body.  Also does the verb estar refer to something temporary. If so, why does a sentence say va a ser una experiencia relajante?

Why is "lo mío" singular? Why not "los míos son" or "lo mío es"?

 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!

In the example "Usted está pálido", I might be referring to someone looking unwell, correct? However, if I was pointing out that someone is pale because they are very white skinned just by nature and I was describing them to a friend, I would say "El es muy pálido", correct? And use the ser conjugation?
