Continuar +infinitive

I want to make sure I understand the lesson correctly--so continuar is never used with an infinitive, as it is in English? It is only correct to use it with a gerund?

future tense?

How does "could" translate from "Dónde estará esa chica?" Isn't that future tense? Would "¿Dónde podría estar esa chica?" be more correct?

El Condicional Simple vs. El Futuro for uncertain events

Hi - In your topic on El Condicional Simple, the description reads as follows : "El Condicional Simple expresses hypothetical actions that would or might happen in the past and in the future. It is also used to express wishes, to give advice and suggestions or to invite and ask in a polite way."

How does one differentiate between this description and the use of El Futuro Simple for the use in prediction, probability and speculation? Seems quite confusing and overlapping.

Sé is also used for 2nd person imperative

Just a reminder that " sé" is also the affirmative imperative form of "ser" for "tú".

Ex: ¡Sé muy lista!

(Hope to save people having to look it up.)

Why use 'a' instead of 'para' or 'por'?

In the examples of "¿Quién prepara la fiesta a Sofía?" and "Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados."
