subjunctive vs futuro

In the quiz question "Es posible que Miguel ________ mucho esta noche." why is it beba and not beberá? Isn't the futuro used to talk about probability? (The given English translation is, "It's possible Miguel will drink a lot tonight.")

Ser feliz or estar feliz

Hi,

I would have thought that as feliz is a transient feeling, estar would be apprpriate. However, in the example above, ser has been used.

Can you please explain.

Thanks and regards,

Colin

Al vs A. Passive statements

At " Con la nueva red 5G, podrán acceder a Internet", why is it 'a Internet' and not 'al Internet'?

Also, how do i know when and where to use a passive se sentence Instead of a regular simple future tense as seen here: "los coches automáticos se controlarán" ? I was going to say 'los coches automáticos controlarán' without the se.
