Usually with expressions of uncertainty, such as "tal vez" or "quizas", we use the subjunctive. Do the expressions "a lo mejor" and "lo mismo" indicate more certainty, since they don't trigger the subjunctive?

1) I wrote "quince" instead of "15". This was regarded wrong but I think it should be accepted.
2) From the way the text is read, it is not always easy to discern it it is followed by a comma or a point.
3) It was not possible to get the spanish inverted exclamation sign by pressing long on the exclamation sign?
Can you please elaborate a bit on when the "que" is necessary in "gracias a que"? Is there a reason it's needed for nuestros padres but not for la colaboración?
Why the second and not the first?
Hi,
I'm learning Spanish to keep up with my family (mixed origins from spain, latin america, south america, etc.) and I've noticed that I don't quite understand when the people I'm talking to prefer that I use formal or informal.
Are there any general guidelines or standards as for when one is more appropriate? Like if it's someone who is your senior or based on how close you are to each other? Or is this maybe not as big a deal these days as it might have been in the past?
Thanks, Dawn.
Where is the word for " fire " in the model answer . Why has it been omitted ?
In the sentence containing "Colombia is a extremely cheap," I think that is a mistake
and is unecessary in the sentence, causing confusion in the translation.
Also, is not "los que llegan" correct, meaning "for those arriving"?
Thanks,
Sherri
Hi,
I am trying to determine the part of speech of the phrase 'cómo reaccionaría'.
What form of the verb reaccionar is 'reaccionaría'? I cannot find it in the verb tables I use.
Thanks.

When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?
(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.
Or can we change the order like this:
(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.
Thanks.
PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.
