quizás vs tal vez

Here in Puerto Rico, it was suggested to me that one had the flavor of "perhaps" and the other "maybe", but I always forget which is which.

Present tense v. presente progresivoOne of my Spanish grammar books says that the present tense in Spanish can be translated both by the present simple and the present progressive in English. So, for example, they said ella canta could translate both as "she sings" and "she is singing." My question is what is the difference between translating the present tense that way, and using el presente progresivo. Are the meanings different? When do I use one or the other in Spanish if I want to talk about an ongoing action? Thanks for any guidance.

Parece que, why incorrect?

I am wondering why in the question "Which of the following expressions are followed by the subjunctive?" the option "Parece que" was marked as incorrect? There is no any information about it in the explanation. However it is followed by the subjunctive, isn't it?

What is the difference between 'semi-regular' and 'irregular' when describing changes in verbs

Using indirect object pronouns with darI have been told that it is not redundant, and is in fact necessary, to use the indirect object pronoun even if you specifically mention the recipient. For example, Le di el regalo a Jose. Is this just a Central American thing?

La mano, las manos, mi mano, mis manos?

I had thought that with the noun 'mano' we shouldn't use the possessive pronoun/s?

Please could you advise me here?

Gracias

Please explain use of subjunctive when the subject does not change in the main clause to the subordinate clause. For example here "Yo no creo que yo sea muy egoista."
