Which one is correct:

Tres es más que dos.

Tres es más de dos.

under this section, the quiz showed a question as below.

Estoy intentando que ellos nos ________ una oportunidad.

i am not sure why does intentar trigger subjunctive.

is this because it contains uncertainty? so if im using other similar verbs such as probar or whatever scenario of trying to do something, i will need to use subjunctive?

When is the letter "A" used in front of a verb

Most enjoyable, perfectly spoken and easy to follow. Thanks. But what is a "menina"? It's not in my Larousse dictionary . . .

In the tip it says - Unlike in English where as if is often followed by a past tense in the indicative, in Spanish como si can never be followed by a tense in the indicative or El Presente de Subjuntivo, or El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo.  But there is a C1 lesson that is about using como si followed by the indicative.  Is this tip incorrect, or am I missing something?

On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is".  This seems wrong to me.  Irse means to GO away, not to BE away.  The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".

What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?

I didn't want him to be far away.

I don't care if he is far away.

He went away just for me.

In my opinion he should go far away.
