Wow! Question. How does: "en qué momento se me habrá ocurrido" come to mean: "I'm wondering why I thought this was a good idea"?

Is it a standard phrase for "Me pregunto por qué pensé que era una buena idea?"

Would "en qué momento pensé que era una buena idea?"work?

Despite the considerable damage inflicted is translated as:

A pesar del hecho de que se produjeron numerosos daños

Is it possible to say  'A pesar de que se produjeron numerosos daños'?

The first one sounds like a literal translation of 'despite the fact that' and very formal

If both are correct which is the most natural?

Hi,

I am confused about when to include an 'a' between two consecutive verbs.  My search seems to indicate the it depends on the former verb.  If so, is it something that has to be memorised with the verb or is there a rule of thumb?

Thanks and regards,

Colin

Hi, I am trying to understand this lesson, and am confused by the two examples shown.

 Why on the second example you   put (accidentally) but not on the first example?
