En el ejemplo "Siempre ellos están cominedo chocolates", no significa que ahora mismo comen chocolates sino en general comen chocolates. Asi que creo que la oración corecta es "Siempre ellos comen chocolates". No necesito user presente progresivo. ¿Correcto?

other than habia how can you say there was/there were

I doesn’t make any difference what the lister knows or doesn’t know. It is what the speaker perceives. Your explanation makes understanding the tooic moe confusing. Sorry 

why am I getting "zero" scores when the only thing I am messing up is punctuation? 

Would it be incorrect to use a pronoun or even a named subject in the que clause in order to clarify specifically who one is talking about since 1st and 3rd person singular forms are the same?

Using the examples above:

Han hecho que reconsidere la oferta.

(odd but gramatically correct) Me han hecho que reconsidere la oferta. (???)

Similar to other subjunctive que clauses could I say:

Han hecho que yo reconsidere la oferta.

or Han hecho que ella reconsidere la oferta.

or even Han hecho que (a?) Maria reconsidere la oferta.

Or does this just need to be understood from further context?

Small clarification: does cocer actually mean "to boil"?
I thought it meant to cook in a hot water, not exactly "boil". 
If I am wrong then how is it different from hervir?

Thank you in advance.

Does using the accidental se structure require the use of the perfect tense [haber (conjugated to item forgotten)+ past participle "olvidado"] or can I use the preterite (indefinido) also?

For example:

Perfect -> Se me ha olvidado la toalla.

Preterite -> Se me olvidó la toalla. 

Sounds weird, but just asking for clarification since I didn't see any discussion of specifically using the HABER + Olvidado structure. 

Cheers!
