Para + Infinitive with the same subject / Using "Ojalá" with the Imperfect subjunctive/ Maybe two typos?1. Instead of "para que seamos más felices", could we also say "para ser más felices"? - because the subject is the same in the two clauses?
2. With "Ojalá", you point us towards the lesson Using ojalá + the present subjunctive to express hope (El Presente de Subjuntivo) - which illustrates the use of the *present* subjunctive (when expressing a *future* idea). However, perhaps it would be worth emphasising that in this particular writing exercise ("Carmen"), the *imperfect* subjunctive has to be utilised because the speaker is not really referring to the future?
3. You give "al cual que podemos transformar con los pensamientos" as a possible answer, but should the "que" not be removed? - (or if it is permissible, then you should really mention that in the lesson Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns) ).
4. (Something very trivial !) > 'Nuestro' has lost its "r" in the Kviziq answer given as "Todos podemos cambiar nuesto modo de pensar".
I have noticed that all of the verbs that have a stem change in the future (querer -> querr- and tener -> tendr-) have the same stem in the future and the conditional tenses. Is this a general rule, or are there exceptions.
This was the question: How would you say "When I put the parasol on the beach it always blows away."?
If this is something that always happens, why was it wrong to use the indicative? I don't see the future here.
I don't understand me gustan with first person. Is this the formal version?
I am a bit upset at the fact that I changed my correct answer to an incorrect answer based on a hint given. I just finished taking a quiz and the question was:
Sus padres ________ bastante delgados.
Their parents are quite slim.
(HINT: Their parents have always been slim )
I knew the answer was "son", however I changed it to "tienen" based on the hint given. Imagine my dismay when I got the question wrong after knowing the correct answer and changing it because because of the hint.

Please ignore my question about this - I see now whay's going on.
I think the names should probably be the same.
