Hi, i cannot see any transcript about this reading passage. i can just listen to it. what can be the problem?

I've seen both qué and cuánto in exclamatory sentences. I understand when it's clearly the number of something ( ¡Cuántos gatos! ) but when it's something less countable (e.g. "¡Qué orgulloso!" or "¡Cuánto orgulloso!" how do you tell which one to use?

Great structure to know!  Check your English translations, however, as they don't fit the correct grammar patterns:

1.  If PRESENT, then FUTURE

2.  If IMPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL

3.  Your "If PLUPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL PERFECT" examples are correct.

I would've said estos without it, but it made me second guess myself and put este. What is this hint trying to say? I'm not understanding how I misinterpreted it. 

The test question is:

A little off topic, but consider:

1. donde, adonde/a donde

2. dónde, adónde/a dónde

and for that matter (or maybe especially for the case of), 

3. quizá, quizás 

Within each group the various options can be used interchangeably. But what factors influence the chosen form? For example do some people tend to use the same form all the time? Do people just randomly use all the forms equally? Do some localities tend to use one form more than others? Is there a pronunciation efficiency issue (similar to y and i  or  o and u, but not a hard-and-fast rule)?

I guess my questions especially apply to quizá versus quizás.
