I'm holding my breath  . . .

Let's forget about our problems and let's enjoy ourselves.

Olvidémonos de nuestros problemas y disfrutemos!

-monos ("s" dropped from mos before "nos" added) used for olvidar, 

but -mos (present subjunctive) used for disfrutar.  Rule?

As stated by one example, "Yo conocí a Susana hace 6 meses."

However, as stated by another, "Hablé con Clara hace 2 horas." 

Why didn't the second example utilize "a"

Is it because "con" had already been used?

why is it quien not que

Very often in Spanish you see statements expressed both with or without the reflexive particle. Is there a difference in nuance?, I am wondering. For example, comí la torta vs. me comí la torta; murío mi mamá el año pasado vs. se murío mi mamá el año pasado...etc., etc. Is this discussed anywhere?

Hi, my question is regarding the quiz item:

Pedro is going to start thinking [and continue thinking] that we're silly.
Pedro se va a quedar pensando que somos dos tontas.

Are there other possibilities for the position of the "se" ?   In particular, I'm wondering about these:

Pedro va a quedarse pensando que somos dos tontas.
Pedro va a quedar pensándose que somos dos tontas.

If either of those is grammatically correct, is there any difference in meaning/tone/frequency of usage?

Thanks!

Which is the most used form: "Cómo te llamas?" or "Cual es tú nombre?" I didn't understand quite well when reading the text

(please ignore the lack of the interrogation point at the beginning of the questions, my keyboard doesn't have this "feature")

Hello!

Why use subjuntivo vs indicativo in this sentence? 

Una vez que ustedes firmen, no hay marcha atrás. 

I can’t imagine using subjuntivo, or maybe I’m just thinking of it as a real factual warning vs something hypothetical that I can’t imagine in real situation. 

The "chilenos realistas" - is it really correct to call them "royalists"?
