Answer to question on "le encanta."

I'm sorry, but I believe this to be a misleading question. "Le encanta jugando con sus hijos." = "She loves playing with her children." She loves to play with her children", would be "Le encanta jugar con sus hijos." I feel like I'm being penalized for speaking too much Spanish.

En que abranI have a question about this construction in one of the examples for this lesson:No veo la hora en que abran el nuevo centro comercial.I can't wait for the new shopping centre to open.Could you explain the use of "en que abran" (plural)? I thought it should be "en que abra" (singular). Does "abran" refer to unspecified "they"? Thanks.

Irregular verbs in the subjunctive present tense

How many distinct classes of irregular verbs are there in the subjunctive present tense?
If it is possible to say, how many distinct irregular verbs that do not belong to a class, such as ir, are there in the subjunctive present tense?
Knowing the answers to these questions could help me form a strategy to learn them most effectively and efficiently. I would love to simplify the learning of this topic.

Thank you, James

para mí -v- por mí

The Larousse Spanish Dictionary shows: -3. (en frases) ¡a mí qué! so what?, why should I care?; para mí: (yo creo) as far as I'm concerned, in my opinion; por mí: as far as I'm concerned; por mí, no hay inconveniente it's fine by me

How do we get to the: para mí: I have a feeling that ?

Even after the lengthy explanation it's still unclear.

Por mí que cierren el cine. why should I care if the close down the cinema =Por mí si ellos cierren el cine?

No?

Differentiate between third person Presente and second person Imperativo

hi - What is the indicator we should look for to understand whether the verb is being used for third person presente or second person imperativo? Is it that in Presente, there will always be an El / Ella?

tener + participio

Is this common usage in both spoken and written Spanish? Is it more common in Spain than in Latin America? (i.e. Will there be raised eyebrows if I use it in Mexico, like there often are when I use "cover?") Thanks!

Accent placement

Hola,

Where there is a double vowel, such as leer, is the accent always placed on the second of the two vowels, ie leérmelo, etc?

Gracias,
