Is "auto" neuter, "automobil" masculine inanimate? Why not "Poznávám tohoto chlapce a tento auto" ?
They're meant to remind you what a single word means, as if you were looking it up in a dictionary. The context -- showing you the exact right form needed in that particular sentence -- is not reliable.
And Why "auto" isnt correct? Is there a big difference between "auto" and "automobil"?
Both auto and automobil are accepted. Automobil is masculine, so it would need tento. Auto, however is neuter, so it would need toto. Also, chlapce requires tohoto. Adding -to or -hle to the end of the demonstrative turns "the/that" into "this." See earlier comments above.
chlapce is genitive or accusative of chlapec. See https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/27749621/So-many-different-ways-of-saying-things-hoch-kluk-chlapec
It is wrong because tento kluk is in the nominative case, but it is not the subject of this sentence. As the object of the verb, it needs to be in the accusative case. Options that use tohoto kluka are accepted.
"automotiv" means nothing in Czech, or perhaps some self-driven motive.
You can; both are accepted, but they are different genders. If you used the Report button, someone can see exactly what you wrote and tell you why it was rejected.
You wrote (and reported): "tohoto chlapce a tento auto poznavam", but "auto" is neuter, not masculine.
