How do you know when to use este/esta/estos/estas OR las/los? For example, would you say "ESTAS sillas están ocupadas" or "LAS sillas están ocupadas"?

Los marteses voy a la biblioteca. Is this a contradiction to the rule i.e. "Days of the week do not have a plural form except sabados y domingos."

Subjunctive vs imperative (moods)

I believe this is the use of buscar in the imperative not the subjunctive. I think this is the informal (negative) command form. Many forms are the same, but are not from the same parts of grammar. Subjunctive mood and the imperative mood (commands) are not the same.

Is there a lesson or a reference that explains when an accent is needed in the vosotros form of a verb?

Definite article in dates?

In the A0 lesson "Expressing dates in Spanish" the definite article is used: "El 7 de febrero de 1986", but in this lesson it isn't: "Hoy es 25 de septiembre". Is the definite article only used when the date isn't preceded by "ser"?

The progress test given me included an A2 level question, although I've been working in level B1.

Also I wondered if in this lesson, depending on placement, if they change part of speech and if that could also be noted. Thank you.

Looking up"Tanto" I found it has many parts of speech. Which are they here? I believe they are adverbs. (interestingly they can be many, many things!)

I don't understand the point of the lesson. When do you ad an a and when don't you?
