Not sure why the subjunctive mood is apparently triggered by Aún in thefirst line? Is it because the sentence refers to something that has not actually happened?

When do you use por in sentences and not para
The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says
Hoy es lunes. = Today is Monday. ("Today" is singular.)
but
Son las tres de la tarde. = It's three o'clock in the afternoon. ("It" is plural.)
Why are these different?
In an A2 test the answer to "We gave the boys some sandwiches." was "nosotros dimos a los niños unos bocadillos".
I´m still learning indirect object pronouns, why doesn't this have "les" before dimos?
The link to "common colours" in this lesson is wrong. When I click on it, I just get taken back to the beginning of this lesson.
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")
I don't understand why numbers written out in full rather than as numbers are regarded as incorrect. Siete = 7. Should have the option.
In the question:
"____ vamos envejeciendo, nos van importando menos las cosas banales."
I see that conforme works, but why not "Cuánto más"? Is it that the "menos" should be in front? As:
"Cuánto más vamos envejeciendo, menos nos van importando las cosas banales."
Thanks!
Hola Inma,
The hint for the phrase "The clergy was the principal promotor ....." is to use the singular form of the verb for 'the clergy'." It should be singular form of the noun.
I enjoyed the history lesson in this exercise and definitely learned from seeing how the verbs "fundarse and instruirse" were used.
Saludos

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.
