Me gusta el deporte...?

I was always taught that you can use "me gusta el deporte" to refer to sports and it is more common to use the singular, rather than the plural. The same as in English. Is this correct?

De versus sobre

I don't understand how to determine when to use "de" versus "sobre" for the word "about". Las chicas están hablando de mí >> about --> de

Yo soy honesto. No puedo decir lo mismo sobre ti. >> about -->sobre

Thank you.

Just a note- in the section "Cualquier/cualquiera versus algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna", you have the wrong recording with the first sentence

Is this sentence really correct?

Si viniérais, os ________ una paella riquísima. If you guys came, we would make a delicious paella for you.HINT: Using the "nosotros" form, conjugate "hacer" in El Condicional Simple

Because the first clause is in the past, wouldn't the second be in the contitional perfect?

Si viniérais, os habríamos hecho una paella?

Reflexive verb maquillarse

I was taught to use the phrase, "maquillarse la cara". Is "maquillar su cara" natural to say in Spanish?

I wrote "voy a maquillarle la cara", and I think this is also correct.

Estar vs Sentir vs SentirseIn the same exercise, I translated "he wouldn't have felt so afraid" as "no se habría sentido tan asustado" but again it was corrected as "no habría estado tan asustado" and "no habría sentido tanto miedo". In the explanation pages for sentir and sentirse, we are told that we should use adj/adv with sentirse because it is about how one feels and with sentir noun should be used because it is about what you feel. I preferred to use sentirse+adj. I am confused why the version I used not accepted.
