Spanish language Q&A Forum

I answered ‘quizá me esté enamorando’ and the suggested corrections were ‘quizás’ (even though I know they’re interchangeable) and ‘estoy’. From what I understand the indicative and subjunctive are interchangeable after quizás - so just want to clarify if my answer is acceptable or if something is off about it?

One example drives me crazy (again). When to use pero or sino que. 

Example: Luis y yo no hemos terminado, ....... decidimos darnos un tiempo para pensar en lugar de tener que romper.

My answer = pero, because it is correct and I asked as well native speaker and they would use pero.

Strict rules instead of colloquialism @kwiziq? 

In 99% of all cases pero is correct but not in Kwiziq. 

Would it be possible to rate the answer as correct but add a hint stating that the strict rules would rate differently?

Thanks,

I see that, at the bottom of this lesson, there's a note that says what "pluscamperfecto" refers to. It's a very simple explanation -- to talk about something that had happened. 

It would be SO helpful to have these short explanations of what a given grammar term means at the TOP of the lesson, just below the term for the lesson. I look at all these grammar terms and my eyes cross. I have no idea what they mean and I start to feel like there is no way I can learn Spanish because I'm so lost in all these terms. Taking the time to learn grammar terms seems like a tedious distraction from just learning to speak Spanish: a roadblock.

It's not uncommon for people in the US to have never learned grammar, so on behalf of myself, and all the mediocre public school graduates, I implore you: move the explanation for what a grammar term is to the top of the lesson. It's such a simple change and will make learning so much more accessible and these lessons so much more meaningful. 

Why is the future/perfect future sometimes used for the same reason one could use conditional/perfect conditional?

Would it be incorrect to use a pronoun or even a named subject in the que clause in order to clarify specifically who one is talking about since 1st and 3rd person singular forms are the same?

Using the examples above:

Han hecho que reconsidere la oferta.

(odd but gramatically correct) Me han hecho que reconsidere la oferta. (???)

Similar to other subjunctive que clauses could I say:

Han hecho que yo reconsidere la oferta.

or Han hecho que ella reconsidere la oferta.

or even Han hecho que (a?) Maria reconsidere la oferta.

Or does this just need to be understood from further context?

This is from an example in a lesson.  the response given is:  Desde pequeño.  That seems incomplete to me.  Would it be correct to say: Desde era pequeño.
