The sentence is too long and I can't pass this kwiq because all the words don't show up. Please shorten the response to a phrase such as "100 millas por hora" instead of the entire sentence.

Why would this Poder example be subjunctive?

One of my lesson tests on Poder in the subjunctive asks,

No dudo que vosotras ________ correr tan rápido como ellos.I have no doubt you can run as fast as them.(HINT: Conjugate "poder" in El Presente Subjuntivo.)

But why would you use the subjunctive here? No dudo, I have no doubt, is an expression of certainty. Everywhere else that I have learned (my college course, spanishdict translation and google translation all use the indicative for No hay duda que..., and I figure this ought to be similar.

reflexive with imperative

Así pues, si tengo - atreverse alguien a hacer algo - to dare someone to do something.

How would I say: I dare you to do this - because it's atreverse you have to say me for me and then te for you? for example te atreveme a hacer esto. But it doesn't make sense because it's like the other person is daring me but in fact it's me daring the person. te atrave a hacer esto I think is better but then what about the 'me' because it's reflexive.

When to use future perfect?

Can you please explain when to use the future perfect vs the forms of deber in this lesson? Do they all mean the same thing or are there distinct use cases?

Subjunctive or conditional

Hello,

I was trying to write this sentence and couldn't figure out which would be the correct way to express what I was trying to say.

English:

"I discovered a very interesting site in my search to understand the word "echar de menos" and I thought it might be interesting to you/of interest to you. "

These are the various Spanish sentences I came up, and I couldn't figure out which one to use and which one(s) are correct and why... :(

Here are my sentences:

Descubrí un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que podría ser interesante para tí.

or:

He descubrí un sitio muy interesante en mi buscando de la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que te puedas ser interesante.

or:

He descubierto un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que podría ser interesante para ti.

or:

He descubierto un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que pudieras ser interesante para ti.

Thank you for any help in clarifying this and helping me through this morass.

Nicole

Feedback on dictation test

I can tell you care about UX, so I would say there is too much clicking to move through this exercise. Maybe you could save the grading until the end, and just move from point to the next, or you could at least take out the self-grading requirement to move to next.

oímos el tráfico de coches desde casa

This is very poorly worded. Oír means to hear, NOT can hear NOR is able to hear, so why have you asked can hear in the question?

Now I don't know whether to use poder (conjugated) + oír or oír because I don't know whether you are asking me can hear or hear.
