Spanish language Q&A Forum

This seems to me to be too ambiguous (or maybe too subtle) to be used in a lesson.

Gabriel no podía meter las llaves en la cerradura anoche.
Carlos couldn't put the keys in the keyhole last night.

Without additional information, it appears that it could be either way, depending on the reader’s interpretation.

What is the difference between usage of Cómo and Qué when one is trying to ask questions about 'How'? I have seen both Cómo and Qué used for How? 

Whats the best way to differentiate?

There seem to be a lot of confusion around this subject. especially when using the word 'some.'

Could you please explain the difference illustrated in these two examples.

Tengo muchas postales de Venecia, ¿quieres algunas?
I have many postcards from Venice, do you want some?

He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿quieres ver alguna?
I have printed the pictures of our trip, do you want to see some?

And just as an aside, the sentences in English should be separated by either a semi-colon or a period, not a comma.  When a comma is used to separate two independent clauses, it's called a comma splice or a run-on sentence.  I'm not trying to be a know-it-all.  This is in the spirit of having the best grammar.

I'm confused by the use of third person (instead of first person) of haber. Why is the sentence not "Ultimamente, me he dado por flirtear con mi jefe"?

1. I find it difficult to think in terms of the Imperfect subjunctive in examples which allude to an event in the future, e.g. "Ojalá nosotros viniésemos el año que viene"... Could we also say "Ojalá nosotros vengamos el año que viene"?

2. [A comment rather than a question]: I personally prefer the "-s-" option for constructing the Imperfect Subjunctive because there is less chance of confusing it with a future construction.

I've just moved from A2 to B1, did anyone else find it a huge step? I seem to be being asked questions about tenses that I haven't been taught.  I used a different online language class before I came to Kwiziq, and may have already known a lot up to Level A2, has it always been this difficult? :-)
