Which tenses do these 3 forms represent? I suppose one is the usual conditional tense

With body parts the possessive pronoun often is not used. E.g me duele el cuerpo.  My body hurts. Why not in this text? 

The lesson says to use "alguna" to mean "just the odd one" in an AFFIRMATIVE sentence, but in the question with the photographs the sentence is a question, not an affirmative statement . Can alguna be used in this sense in non-affirmative sentences as well?

Hi,

Quick question about the above sentence.  Could the word order be the same as in English i.e. la tension... se notó mucho?

Best regards,

The correct answer to one of the questions is "prefiero que ellas cocinéis las paella".  ¿Y cómo?

My CLAVE dictionary implies that the phrase "consist of ..." [in today's translation exercise "Thriving ecosystems in Costa Rica"] may be translated by "constar de ..." as well as by "consistir en ..." - but it implies that there is a subtle difference between them. If so, this might be worth mentioning?

Hi,

I am confused about when to include an 'a' between two consecutive verbs.  My search seems to indicate the it depends on the former verb.  If so, is it something that has to be memorised with the verb or is there a rule of thumb?

Thanks and regards,

Colin

I used all CAPS for the title of the picture as the hint suggested... I didn't realize it was only for capitalizing the first letter of each word. Could be clearer. Thanks.
