Why is the (se) in parentheses in the title of the lesson? Every example is reflexive. Would one ever use a non-reflexive quedar in this context? (If not, it seems like the parentheses aren't needed, no?) 

I found this confusing.

"Hemos pedido" translates into English as "asked," which is a past tense. So I wanted to use pusiera. But the answer requires present subjunctive (ponga).

Is it always true that when the main verb is in the present perfect, the subsequent clause will use the present subjunctive? So in Spanish we should treat present perfect as a present tense, whereas in English it is a past tense?

This seems like a very basic lesson, I was surprised to find this in the B1 lesson.

I do not have to water them often,

You                  no necesito darlas agua

I’d like to know if my reply  is good /correct Spanish or is it not the way this would usually be said.  (I don't mean whether it would  be understood, but is this the only way to say this, or can it be said other ways?)

Hope you had a muy Feliz Navidad and wishing you a wonderful New Year! 

Thanks you.

Hi,

I am also a little confused by this lesson.  I accept that they must be used as written but as the former modifies an adjective and the other a verb, how does this relate to the sentence above?  Do they both relate in different ways to the second part of the sentence?  Also, although they have the same translation, is there any difference to a Spanish speaker?

I need to understand when to apply each so that I don't make a mistake.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin
