Nope ... I still don't get it. If I want to say "raise your hand" to a student, I say "levanta la mano", right? There's no "se" in it, yet I'm still using "la" and not "tu". I still don't know when to use the possessive and when to use the definite article.............

Yes, they are all different but somewhat synonyms, right?

I think you are stuck somewhere and cannot get ouuuut!

One more, tapar = to put a lid.
You're right - I'm still stuck on this and can't get out...... Again:
