los humanos PARA sobrevivir en el planeta rojo. why use para here ? what is its significance? 

This recommends "estudiando violin" but "tocar el violin."  I don't understand the rule for when to use the definite article.

Hello and I hope you are all doing and staying well!

In English they say that becoming proficient with transitive and intransitive verbs further includes knowing how they function with direct and indirect objects.

1) I'm wondering if this applies as well in Spanish and if so

2) how can we use this and which lessons cover this particular subject.?

Thank you for your help.

Why is the present subjunctive not more correct for the following sentence? The lesson says it should be the imperfect subjunctive...but I think this is incorrect; this would require it be "you have had" rather than "you have"

"Maybe you have lots of friends in England"

You use va a disfrutar. Should it have been van since you are referring to gente, multiple people? 

Can't most of these time markers also be used in the present tense? Does the heading mean that if the past tense is used, then it must be the Imperfect? For people like me who are easily confused, could the heading be revised to clarify?

I don't understand why "tanto" shouldn't be "tantas"  since it is an adjective that modifies "políticas como sociales" - please help? ( I read the section on use of "tanto, tanta, tantos, tantas")

Hola Inma,

1)  El hecho de que no haya. 

Why do you use subjunctive here? I thought el hecho is refering to something real (la falta de la oferta).

2)  ....  hasta que pueden dejar la casa de sus padres. 

In this case (future action) i would use the subjunctive. Would it be wrong?

¡Feliz año nuevo!
