Preguntando si algo sea un hecho o no, ¿qué se debería decir? Por ejemplo: ¿Es verdad que tengamos un examen hoy? o ¿Es verdad que tenemos un examen hoy? ¿Hay casos en que depende de lo que ya cree el hablante?

I noticed with this translation, it isn’t following the normal rule for translating “ing” congregations for verbs. Is this because they are semi-regular verbs? Thank you 

Hi. I think someone mentioned this point some time ago and the reply was that the problem had been fixed but it doesn’t appear to have been. Under the section on “desde que” in the example “Mañana, desde que aterrices hasta que llegues…” “hasta que” appears in bold rather than “desde que”. I hope this helps. :)

Is word order important in questions?  Years ago, I learned that when asking a question, the order should be verb then subject, but I've seen an example where the word order is reversed: "¿Miguel estará en la oficina?"  I would have asked, "¿Estará Miguel en la oficina?"  It seems important because often folks (even some native speakers) don't use an inflection in their voice when asking a question. By using verb then subject, it becomes clearer that it is a question.
