Hello,
I found myself in quite a bit of confusion, and this may/may not be due to the fact that the same grammatical "term" has different names but are/may be the same thing.
I have spent hours trying to decipher these various terms and wonder if you could please tell me
1) if any are the same thing and
2) what possible synonyms/terms could we come across in both Spanish and English for each of them?
3) a short explanation for each (and/or referral to a lesson)
Terms in question:
Pasiva Refleja
The Passive Se
Impersonal Se (pronoun “one”/impersonal "you")
Se impersonal refleja
Thank you for your help.

I had this question in a test and got it right, but I thought I read somewhere that the subjunctive is suppose to have a change of subject, but it is not true in this case (creo=yo, sepa=yo). Can you help to clarify? Thank you.
No creo que yo ________ nada hasta las diez.I don't think I will know anything until ten o'clock.HINT: Conjugate "saber" in El Presente SubjuntivosepaIn the first two egs given "Tengo escritas veinte paginas de mi futura novela" y "Tienes pintadas dos habitaciones. Falta una mas para terminar", why is tener + participio used instead of Llevar + participio? Since the repetition of the action is going to continue.
Thanks.
