I could substitute “which person” here. What clue should I be looking for to tell me I don’t need the accent?

Hola, y gracias por responder a mi pregunta. 

My question relates to the sentence in this quiz:

"and be able to work on the negative aspects."

Kwizbot: y poder trabajar en los aspectos negativos. 

You:        y ser capaz de trabajar en los aspectos negativos. 

Note: My sentence does translate to : “and be able to work on the negative” aspects. 

I wanted to check with you if what I wrote: "ser capaz de"  is  correct and if not, why not ? 

And if my use of "ser capaz de"  is correct/acceptable?  - I would imagine that

there would be some difference in meaning?..-  and if so, what that would be. 

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

It says verbal structure. Does this mean that this is only used in spoken Spanish?

Also, I thought that we used the present perfect for actions that have just happened?

1)hi, could you tell when is molestar used as gustar verb and not,        2)Also in the sentence, the heat annoys me , the spanish translation for this would be ,                                                                    Me molesta el calor,but wont ``the heat`` =lo(dop)                               So the sentence should be , ``me lo molesta``, but why isnt it so on the translators

3)the structure when molestar is used as ``gustar`` is , iop+molestar+subject.Is this an exception?                                                  R there nay other verbs  like this, 

When a word ends in -o or -a, how do we know which is preferred?  When  to use -illo, -illa, etc. and when to use -ito, -ita, etc.?   For example, is it gatito or gatillo for a little cat? Chiquita or chiquilla for a little girl?  Or are both acceptable endings?  Thanks in advance for clearing this up.

 I noticed that " me pregunto cuándo van a llegar" was one of the options in this exercise.  Could I have used "van a llegar' instead of "llegaràn" to express probability

In the example sentence. "Nos felicitaron porque habíamos aprobado todo con una nota alta," why is haber in the imperfect? I think of passing or failing something as something that happens in a moment -- you receive your grade and either it is pass or fail -- not as an ongoing state of being. Could one say "hubimos aprobado" or would that be wrong? 

Though most of the English translations here use the future tense, as an American English native speaker it sounds stilted to me. I would normally say, for example, "I hope you come out with us tonight", "I hope they're very happy in their marriage.", and "My brother and I hope that you have lots of luck with the job." To me, this form, which is our very subtle subjunctive present tense, is a more natural translation from the Spanish present subjunctive than the English translations in future tense here.
