I'm afraid I have to join the others on this one. This is has got to be the hardest concept I have encountered so far. I'm glad that you mentioned that if you use "nunca" or "siempre" then the verb would be in the simple past. However, that is where my understanding stops. I tried thinking about whether one is recent past (perfecto) and one is more distant but still somewhat recent (indefinido), but that is confusing and probably not correct. Thank you also for stating that this is something that is different across all the different countries. I will just keep trying and hope that something sticks at some point.   

I have a question about constructions like this: "Omar y Cristina son nuestros panaderos," e.g. "Omar and Cristina are our bakers." I understand it is "nuestros" because it is the nosotros form of the possessive adjective. However, I'm confused about the gender. Why is it masculine here?

Why is there a ‘por’ after pagar in the first example and not in the second?                           

No voy a aceptar que pagues por todo.

I’ve started to get kwiz questions about specific instances of the imperative, but I am very unfamiliar with it. Could you link me to the introductory lessons/material you have about forming the imperative? Thanks

Is there any problem with adding "se" to the verb "reír" here? 

here it says ¨Nosotros no deberíamos haberlo escuchado.¨ Should it be  Nosotros no deberíamos haberle escuchado? Le instead of Lo?
