Spanish language Q&A Forum

One of the options for a mini kwiz question, ""Suspendió el examen, no porque ________ sino porque ese día no se sentía bien." As I understood it, no porque could be used with either subjunctive or indicative and not change the meaning. Why isn't "no porque no iba a estudiar" an option along with the other two examples (which were subjunctive).

I am a bit confused here. Below are two responses which I got wrong. In both cases the "hint" is that it is a "future idea". So why should one of them be indicative and the other subjunctive? "Even if you don't want to" I put in the subjunctive because there seemed to be a bit of doubt, and that was marked wrong. "Even if you do extra hours" I put in the indicative because it seemed that that was definitely going to happen.

I think this is a very complicated and nuanced piece of grammar so I would appreciate some help, thank you.

PS I tried to include a screenshot of my answers but the system wouldn't let me.

Why not “estos pantalones, cuáles he tenido “?

Why do you use Un before the "jugador de fútbol"

I put le invité. Is that also correct?

This very lesson says that 'normalmente' signals the simple present, the so-called correct answer was the progressive. 

I just did an exercise and 'No todavía me he vestido para la fiesta'  was wrong. The correct answer was  'Todavía no me he vestido para la fiesta'.  I don't understand the difference. Help please.
