"He and she read a letter."

[gigiem]

If translating this from English, can't this be both present or past tense?

[PatriciaJH]

Yes, but be aware that English present tense is far, far more likely to be present continuous: "are reading a letter."

How do you read chocolate?

Dankon.

Nedankinde!

[Luis_Domingos]

Is that a rethorical question, or did you decide to ask about pronunciation on an exercise about reading a letter? :)

[Tengo_una_alma]

Rhetorical, it was one of the choices. :-)

[JBunaHu]

Aren't both "Li kaj ŝi legas leteron" and "Li kaj ŝi leteron legas" correct? I thought the word order was unimportant in Esperanto.

[ShdwFxx]

the choice was "La kaj si leteron legas"

[NoahHabermaas]

Are there indefinite articles in Esperanto?

Nope, no indefinite articles.
