Hi room, experts

Please explain translation 'its difficult for corruption to disappear from the country' in Spanish 'Es difícil que la corrupción desaparezca del país'. 

I understand your translation but I am wondering, can this also be written in the indicative. 

For example could I not also write, 'Es difícil por la corrupción de desaparecer del país'?

foggy and sunny both are adjectives, the why is it hay niebla and esta soleado?

Este se negó a entregárselo. What does Este mean here? I know it means usually means  “this”.  

Thanks a lot, 

Shirley.

I would like to find the lessons that correlate to the 'bad' areas of my brainmap, to add them to a notebook. In a perfect world, I would just click on the brainmap area to get to them, but as this isn't possible, what's the quickest way to find them please?

In the question, How would you say "There was an accident on the motorway" the nearest correct answer I can find is "Había un accidente...", and there isn't the option for preterite 'hubo'. However, because accidents are one time actions with clear beginnings and ends, it's more appropriate to use the preterite tense in this case. In fact, this particular sentence is a very common one to use when explaining the differences between the two conjugations and especially to illustrate why imperfect simply doesn't work here.
