If using the indicative or subjunctive is completely interchangeable without affecting the meaning, what are the reason(s) for choosing one over the other? Can you give some examples? 

Why is "You will see..." translated to a command (Mira que...) whereas "Your will forget..." is translated to the future (olvidarás)? The structures appear to be the same.

Please ignore my question about this - I see now whay's going on.

Why is it soy cinturón verde and not estoy cinturón verde?  as being a green belt wouldn't be a permanent position.

Hello.  Can you please explain why the definite article isn't used in this phrase?  Is it similar to the difference between "en casa" (at home) and "en la casa" (in the house, as in a physical location)?  Thank you!

Hi, can we use antes and despues for dates? For example "before Friday" or "after Monday".

No entiendo cuando usar "o sea" o "es decir". Me puedes ayudar?

Not a question, but I think a much better way to put this would be ú -> ue, meaning the "u" becomes "ue" when stressed. That holds across all tenses (also for voseo) and needs no special cases at all (assuming the usual ge -> gue to keep the g sound from getting mangled). Turns it into a single simple fact to remember.

Could someone please clarify the vowel change from e->i on reir. It looks like it is just be dropping the e.

Thank you.
