Tener or Llevar?

In the first two egs given "Tengo escritas veinte paginas de mi futura novela" y "Tienes pintadas dos habitaciones. Falta una mas para terminar", why is tener + participio used instead of Llevar + participio? Since the repetition of the action is going to continue.

Thanks.

Indicative or Subjentive. It seems tak in the subordinate time clause we use subjuntivo and in the manner clause indicativo, is it correct?

I could not find any explanation regarding the modes. thank you

Terminar vs terminarse

Hi, why is terminarse (vs terminar) used here: “no quería que se terminara”, (I didn’t want it to end). Thanks a lot,

Shirley.

Pointing and "over there"

1. Could you remember these exclusively as occasions in which you are pointing at something?

2. What about using "over there" when you refer to another country?

Gracias, Ricky

Si vs. cuando

Hi, I was wondering if in the following examples, "cuando" can be interchanged with "si", because there are lessons about si-sentences with the exact same combination of tenses/modes to excited hypothetical situations.

Ella te habría perdonado cuando tú le hubieras pedido perdón.

She would have forgiven you when you had apologised to her. (hypothetical situation)

Dijo que me llamaría cuando llegara al hotel.

He said he'd call me when he arrives at the hotel. (future/hypothetical event)

Thanks so much! I really enjoy this course :)

Recoger or Arreglar ??

Why was "recoger" used in the sentence "you must tidy up your room" instead of the verb "arreglar"?

Change of gender?

In one of the above examples, "la pelicula" becomes "el peliculón", and in another "tasa" becomes "tazón". Is there a rule for when to do this gender change?

Thanks,

Marcos

Vosotros pudisteis caminar a la montaña. You were able to walk to the mountains.I think it should be either "a las montañas." or "to the mountain."
