I don't get it__________ mucho esta noche.
I answered: "He bebido"
I answered this because:
"The use of El Pretérito Perfecto in Latin America depends on regional variations but in general we can say it's restricted to actions started in the past that continue in the present or are not finished, or recent past actions the speaker wants to emphasise." 
"I drank a lot tonight" seems like a recent past action...
What am I failing to understand here?
There's also this part:
"However, in general most Latin American Spanish speakers don't really observe this difference between El Pretérito Indefinido and El Pretérito Perfecto. Most of Latin America tends to just use El Pretérito Indefinido, while in the Andean region speakers tend to just use El Pretérito Perfecto."
So... I have two contradictory sets of information given to me... which one do I use?
 
When I read into this, I found it a little confusing, we would actually say, he was meeting the lawyer tomorrow, to mean, He is meeting the lawyer tomorrow.
I think we say it as it was a decision taken before the present or the future. So for once a literal translation would work?
Hi, I was trying to make sure I translated something correctly and put the phrase “after school I go home” into a translator and it translated to “despues de la escuela me voy a casa” but the yo didn’t change to me when going other places. What caused the change?
This topic requires a better explanation. There is a question where one person talks about the condition of another’s car. Both speaker and listener know the car’s condition. According to my reading of the lesson (perhaps mistaken), this means the subjunctive is used. So, I chose funcione but funciona was the correct choice. So, doubt or uncertainty does not seem to be the deciding factor when considering the use of the subjunctive after aunque. Thanks.
Is there any problem with adding "se" to the verb "reír" here?

What is the exact wording of the audio for the following sentences? I can´t work out what is being said at the end of each of the sentences.
Un euro está a 0.88 libras. El dólar estaba a 0.75 libras. La libra estará a 1.14 euros.
Would it be possible to create a lesson on how to say different kinds of money - For example, dollars and cents, euro and cents, pounds and pennies, and any other major currencies?
Kind regards, Ellen
My answer: Comprend tanto carne que pescado. this was marked wrong. Why would it be tanta when carne is masculine?
No entiendo por qué la traducción de "por los propios festeros" será "by party-goers themselves"
"festero" significa "party-goer"??
Thanks!
