Would it be possible to use active participle? Are there cases in Spanish when both -ido/ado and -iendo/ando can be used and the meaning remains the same?

Haya vs hubiera Nos extrañó que ustedes hubiesendecidido mudarse.We found it odd that you had decided to move.Would hayan decidido be incorrect here? The difference between hayan and hubieran in the absence of a conditional state that remains unclear.

Acordar vs Estar de acuerdo

The way I learned, for many of the examples you give here, I would probably use the construction estar de acuerdo. (ie. Estoy de acuerdo contigo = I agree with you).

Can someone explain what the differences between acordar and estar de acuerdo are. I wonder if the latter is regional variation as I'm not sure if I ever heard it said in Spain?

Subjunctive clause with same subject?

I thought if the two clauses in a sentence that normally takes the subjunctive both have the same subject, you would use an infinitive form rather than a subjunctive?
