Can you use estar para + noun? e.g. Miguel no está para bromas

You make this construction unnecessarily complicated. The conditional is used here simply because even the future event is stated conditionally: so-and-so “would” do such-and-such. It’s a perfect parallel to the English conditional.

Hi, is there a subject change requiring the subjunctive if the subjects are I and we? Por ejemplo, I want to walk the dog after we eat. Coz technically the subjects are different but I’m still part of the group we. 

I am currently taking lessons from a tutor from Latin American who told me that in describing past experiences you would specifically use the past perfecto-He viajado en Mexica instead of the preterito. You contradict this. I wonder if this means you can actually use either and it's just a preference.

Hi, in English, "Pon la mesa." would be translated as "Set the table," not "Lay the table."

In the example: “ Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?” isn’t “dígame” the imperative, not subjuntive?

The answer is sin saber los adultos. I’m not sure why the answer is not subjunctive as there are two different subjects, the one who stayed hiding and then the parents
