Use of accent on "cuando"

Why is the accent on "cuando" in this answer? It doesn't appear to be a question. Is it considered an indirect sentence because the narrator is quoting the screen?

La pantalla no dice ________ aterriza el avión.The screen doesn't say when the plane is landing.

EDIT January 12: I see that there is a lesson in B1 about use of the accent. However, I'm still in A2, so maybe there could be a link to that lesson where I was in A2? It only said when to use the accent, not when not to. Thanks.

Reflexive verbs

My sentence:

Las chicas se sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande

was corrected to:

Las chicas sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande.

But isn’t sentir a reflexive verb in Spanish? Reflexive verbs are not very common in English.,

Google translate has:

I feel cold (English) – Me siento frio (Español) – Jeg føler mig kold (Danish, my language, which uses reflexion very much like Spanish)

Please explain!

¿Te dio tu madre el dinero?

Hi,

The word order in the above sentence confused me. If the word order was changed to:

¿Tu madre te dio el dinero?

would this change the meaning of the sentence?

If not, is the word order in the original sentence commonly used?

Thanks.

Subjunctive: Expressing Doubt

Forgive me if there is already a thread addressing this question.

I was a bit confused about a question that began with "no dudo que..." and asked for the verb to be conjugated in the present subjunctive. I followed the hint and it was marked as correct even though it ran contrary to my prior understanding of the subjunctive. I thought "dudo que..." indicated subjunctive because there was uncertainty/doubt but "no dudo que..." negates the doubt making it certain and thus, requires the indicative.

Is this an exception to the rule or did I simply mislearn this topic?

Thanks

subjunctive for suggestions

Hello, I'm wondering why the subjunctive here is used but then not in the same sentence:

"no la dejes ir y cuida su amistad"

shouldn't it be: "no la dejes ir y cuide su amistad" since both are suggestions?

Thank you
