DistanceI'm having trouble figuring out when a noun is "far from the speaker (medium distance) [ese, etc.]" and "a further distance from the speaker"? [aquel, etc] when "over there" can mean in a corner of a room and "far from the speaker" can mean two blocks away. Can you help?

Request vs command and pronoun orderin the micro quiz, the option of “por favor Marta, les trae unas copas de vino” is considered incorrect. However, it could be a request rather than a command, using a more formal 3rd person Ud form, for example, where Marta is an older person than the speaker. I consider this option as possibly correct, and certainly NOT incorrect - it just doesn’t fit with the lesson very well, but that doesn’t make it wrong.

you translate "hoja" as "paper". I gather this is meant to be a sheet of paper rather than the daily printed publication like "El Mundo"?
