Tildes in the preterite indefinido

Some verbs in the preterite indefinido have tildes and some don't. Is there a rule for when they are used or not used, as i'm finding it difficult to remember when to use them?

not conjugating the tense of a verb when using el qual, lo qual

In the example "Estas mesas, las cuales he comprado recientemente, son de madera.

These tables, which I bought recently, are made of wood." the "I bought" is not conjugated. Comprado is in the present tense, is this correct or should it be comprade - I bought in past tense

use of expressions of doubt

Hi Silvia. The phrase "expression of doubt" (I paraphrase) and the way it is used here seem ambiguous. How is it that according to the tests "creemos que" and "piensan que" don't express doubt; to me, since they don't express certainty, there is doubt. Likewise, how is it that "es impossible que" is followed by the subjunctive, when it expresses certainty that something is not possible. Please clarify. Thanks.
