Are you going to the hospital is translated as Va usted al hospital. 

Is it acceptable to interchange the words va usted and usted va and they are both equally correct?

Why is it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?

And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"?  There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".

Hello,

 A couple of questions: 

1. How to tell when to use an article in cases like this: 

Kwizbot     Mañana vamos a ir a la Sierra de Atapuerca. 
You            Mañana vamos a ir a Sierra de Atupuerca.

2.  Why  “there” does not translate to “allá”

and many people travel there

Kwizbot     y muchas personas viajan a este lugar 
You            y muchas personas viajan allá

The question is

Será mejor que ________ sin apostar dinero.
It's better to play without gambling money.
HINT: Conjugate "jugar" in El Presente Subjuntivo.

The answer given is “juguemos”. Why not “juguéis” , “jueguen” , “juegue”  or “juegues”?

In the test question: ¿Quién es ________ de tus amigos? (Who is the most generous of your friends?)

I incorrectly assumed that because "de tus amigos" doesn't specify the gender of "Quien es" in Spanish, that "lo" would be appropriate rather than "el" (correct answer). Because only the response can reveal the gender e.g. - "Carla es la más generosa de mis amigos" o "Jorge es el más generoso de mis amigos". In other words, why is "el" correct in this case even if the "quién es" might turn out to be female? (I did notice that the hint was "generous = generoso" but (falsely?) assumed it was being generic rather than specifying un amigo masculino).

Can you please clarify?

Thank you
