Éstas vs. Estas

I am confused by when to use éstas with a tilde and when not to. And would this sentence work without using either? Just saying ...zonas de ocio sino que también permiten a la población...

Además, las zonas verdes no son consideradas exclusivamente como zonas de ocio sino que éstas también permiten a la población estudiar horticultura.

When to use different phrases/words for "everywhere"

Hello,

Can you give some examples or guidelines on when and what contexts to use different words/phrases for "everywhere". For example, I'm confused when or what contexts to use dondequiera, por todas partes, por todos lados, and doquiere/por doquiere. Thanks very much for clarification.

Alguna in a non-affirmative sentence

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?

Hacíamos vs estudiábamos

Maribel and I used to study English at the language school. The correct answer is noted as: Maribel y yo hacíamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas. But that does not make any reference to the studying. Shouldn't it be: Maribel y yo estudiábamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas.

Thank you for the explanation in advance.

Environmental science and "de esta manera"

1) Just wondering if "las ciencias medioambientales" is the most common way to say environmental sciences? The online dictionary I used suggested "la ciencia ambiental".

2) Can you use "así" in place of "de esta manera" in the sentence: "cree que de esta manera podrá ayudar..."?

My Baselang teacher said was only for excuses

I wrote a sentence using this format for a Baselang class and my teacher (from Venezuela) said it didn’t sound right except in the context of a list of excuses.

Is it correct to write PRESTARLE ALGO, PEDIRLE PRESTADO ALGO

I used to see the “le” form of the infinitive used in dictionaries. Is it still correct to use this form? Thanks.
