I didn't go by train but by car.

My problem is with the word ‘Indefinido’! It seems to convey the opposite of what is intended.  Surely hubo conveys something defined and complete; whereas habia  conveys an incomplete and hence ‘imperfect’ ( Latin root meaning not fully done) past event?  

In this sentence: “La mayoría de sus calles no tienen nombre.”

If the sentence means “the majority of its streets don’t have names”, why is nombre singular and not plural?

If the sentence means : “the majority of its streets don’t have a name”, why is the indefinite article “un” not used for “a”?

En la frase: será colorear en un cuaderno que tenga figuras en blanco, por qué se necesita tenga en lugar de tiene?

What does pasos mean in this context? 

“Queremos ver tres pasos muy bonitos”

I just took one of the B1 quizes and I got this one wrong:

La había comprado para sus padres. ________ la había comprado. (He'd bought it for his parents. He'd bought it for them.)

It says the answer is "Se la habia comprado." I put "Por ellos, la había comprado."

Is it ever correct to "por" whoever, instead of "se"?

It sounds more natural to me to say "La había comprado por ellos," rather than "Se lo había comprado." It also seems clearer because "ellos" is specific (them), where as "se" could be you, him, them...

Is that wrong? Less common? Common only in certain countries or situations?

Why is it incorrect to say "espero que no tomen muchas fotos....."? Or, why is it only correct to use sacar in the subjunctive?

How do you pronounce the word “vivo” in other words the letter “v”?

While i was doing the exercise ,the suggested answer was "Para ver las fotos o los videos", but here without articles? In this sentence, should we use las/los or not?
