Quiz question mentioning the tilde

A quiz question says: "La palabra víspera tiene el tilde en la i"

Not relevant to the lesson, but I thought a tilde was the squiggle over the n (~), not the tick mark? Can it mean both?

Perfect vs Indefinido - Latam version

This lesson is a little confusing because under "Examples and Resources", el Preterito Perfecto is shown, after being told above that el Preterito Indefinido is preferred in Latam.

Preterite or imperfect tense 'y allí me ayudaron a superar mis miedos'

Can you help me understand this, please. In my answer, I used 'ayudaban' on the basis that the help given happened more than once. It was corrected to 'ayudaron'. Don't we have to assume though that the help/assistance was ongoing?

Many thanks

Imperfecto o presente

Hi,

What is the difference in meaning between using the imperative tense as in "Los jubilados acababan de ..." and the present tense as in "Ustedes acaban de ..."?

Thanks.

Saludos,

Colin

must not vs don't have to

Hola. How do express the difference between "The students must not use a calculator" (in the examples), and "The students DON"T HAVE TO use a calculator." which has a very different meaning. Thank you!

"when he arrives" in Subjunctive?

The sentence, "Fernando will begin complaining when he arrives". If he always complains about everything, would it be "cuando llega"?
