Is it still true that in some areas coger should be avoided due to negative connotations?

Do the brackets around “a” mean that it can be used at the speaker’s discretion, or its use sometimes or always required? 

Could I have said, “Os animo que vengáis” or “Me han animado comprar un perro” ?

When you say "colloquially", is it a less formal/ slang-like way to use it?

And which region is it used?

"... no hay demasiada gente que las canten" > Should it be "... que las cante" if 'gente' is a singular noun?

I am totally confused on this one.  Does the adverb agree with the noun?  

Hola,

Trying to understand why this isn't an indicative? Seems more of a statement of fact? (appreciate that I guess that this is pointing to future occasions they will wake the dog - seems a very grey area!) 

It is odd that the children wake up the dog so early.

Es extraño que los niños despierten al perro tan temprano.

Gracias,

The title of the question says it all!  Thanks.
