reflexive verbs versus passive "se"Is there an example of a use of tardarse that is not in the third person? If not, is it a reflexive verb really?

A question about one of the example sentences used to explain 'nadie'.

Hi,

In the example sentence, 'Nadie ha traído regalos a la fiesta', please could you tell me why ha, which I think is from the auxiliary verb 'haber', is used?

Thanks, Clara.

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.

Hola, estoy confundido con respecto a "que" frente "lo que". Por ejemplo: Lo que hago no es asunto tuyo. ¿Es acceptable que no uso "lo" en ese caso?
