This article is extremely confusing. One of your examples is   Voy a salir aunque llueva and you use the subjunctive in the next example—llueve but your translation is the same!?  Aunque + subjunctive seems like it should be translated as even if, implying either they don’t know if it is raining or they are talking about a time in the future.  Aunque + indicative translates as even though and implies a known fact.  I am going out in spite of knowing that it is raining. The talk about shared or background information is something I have never heard before

There has to be some loose English equivalent of this mood. The best I can think of:

“He will be so daring!”

even if it’s very archaic. Even then “would” would be much more acceptable. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "the condition is impossible"?

In this topic I can't find reference to animals. I remember from other lessons that animals normally aren't considered valid when, for instance, using alguien. On the test it's asked about hearing a cat enter the house. Makes me think that hasn't been (explicitly) covered here...

In this construction, can the "se" also go at the end of the infinitive, like this:

    No debe fumarse.

?

Thanks!
