Why is ‘has been …ing’ sometimes el Pretérito perfecto progresivo and other times a perífrasis verbal? eg:
Carlos lleva trabajando en ese colegio dos años.
Carlos has been working in that school for two years.
Laura ha estado viendo a su novio a escondidas.Laura has been seeing her boyfriend secretly.
Wouldn't this mean you both go or you guys go?
Why wouldnt I write Usted va a casa de su hijo?
You go to your son's house
"Le compré flores."
Does this mean:
I bought her flowers (for her)
or
I bought flowers from her
How do I make it clearer, unambiguous?

Also the other sentence using preguntar verb
I believe it is possible to translate the following sentence:
¿Terminas tú el trabajo que teníamos para hoy?
as: Do you want to finish the assignment that we had for today?
instead of: Are you finishing the assignment that we had for today?
If so, what is the rationale for that translation?
Mis hermanos mayores, ____ son gemelos, tienen personalidades diferentes.

Is the verb "leer" another example of a verb of perception, or is it something different? Soy bibliotecario para pregunto mis estudiantes sobre leyendo. Recientemente, pregunté un estudiante "Puedes leerlo?" Ella quiso sacar un libro en íngles, pero su ingles está abajo. La dejé por supuesto. No soy un monstruo. So, did I ask the right question? (And please correct any errors. I was trying to work through some skills I have been learning. Writing sentences and all that.) Gracias para esta comunidad!
