What is the difference between el cine y el teatro? Do el cine have movies only and el teatro have acting and plays?

[Rusty]

Your answers are all correct, except I don't like how street names are being used. If your textbook treats them the way you've shown, go with the textbook. If I had an English textbook, street names would NOT look like this:
I live on Elm street.
The library is on First avenue.

There is a mistake in the translation you gave for number 2.

A cinema only shows movies. The theatre is used for the other arts.

[Jessica]

ok why don't you like how the street names are being used? are they supposed to be capitalized?

[Rusty]

Of course, Elm Street (not Elm street) and First Avenue (not First avenue) are proper street names. So, your sentences should contain proper street names.

Also, if a hotel's proper name is Hotel Plaza, both words should be capitalized, ¿no?

[Jessica]

yes of course it's Elm Street not Elm street and First Avenue not First avenue. I got it. Well, in the book only one of them is capitalized.
