Why is not puede in Subjuntivo, since it follows por lo tanto?

Does Spanish allow combining this construction to say:

“No se qué ves en ese chico. No es totalmente feo pero ni que fuera Brad Pitt.”

Or could/should I say, “No es feo pero (tampoco) no es como si fuera...”

Thanks! 

Hola,

This looks to me like a passive construction. Yes /No?

Is there a lesson about using it this way?

Gracias. John

Hello, is there some connotation needed for this to trigger the Preterite? Like "These two centuries out of the 5000 years we're talking about"? Or at least "These two very specific centuries"? As opposed to "For two full centuries, which is pretty much forever", where I would have expected the Imperfect.

would this sentence be more suitable to be translated to i almost did not reach on time for my appointment, rather than i almost missed my appointment?

Casi no llego a mi cita a tiempo. No he escuchado el despertador esta mañana.I almost missed my appointment. I didn't hear the alarm this morning.

Why is the answer yo encuentro wrong and the correct answer is encuentro without the yo?

1. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Enséñamelo, por favor.

2. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Me lo enseñas, por favor.

What is the difference between these two options?  Why is the second one incorrect? To me they both sound acceptable.  Thanks  

What is the translation of this sentence 'Nunca hubiese pensado que mi destino estuviese en Cantabria'. 

Could it also be Nunca hubiese pensado que mi destino estaría en Cantabria? Or does this change the meaning?

Many thanks,

Kathryn

Hello

I am using US International keyboard. I keep typing "está"  but some how your programing is registering it as "es" and therefore marking my answers as incorrect. Qué pasa?
