the sentence, i paste it on the wall

here , is , the wall the indirect obj. pronoun?

Hello. Thank you for the useful lesson. It clarified some things, but not all. I have some texts. One of them:

José у María han paseado hoy por el parque y han hablado mucho. La verdad es que ha hablado María, y José ha escuchado solamente. Cuando María ha terminado, ya era tarde y han regresado a casa. En casa, José ha recordado que quería decir muchas cosas a María, pero María ya no estaba con él.

I can understand the first two usage of PPC, the second two are less understandable. And after "Cuando" I can't understand at all. What are the units of time there? Or what other explanations? My translation is:

Jose and Maria have walked in the park today and have talked a lot. The truth is that Maria was talking (have talked), and Jose was only listening (has only listened). When Maria finished (talking), it was already late, and they returned home. At home, Jose remembered that he wanted to say many things to Maria, but Maria already wasn’t with him.

How do I explain my present continuous and simple there?

El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. 

El director del colegio, quien trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. 

(mas informal) El director del colegio, que trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. 

¿Todos son correctos?

I just had this question

Tal vez vosotras ________ cansadas después de bailar.

This was a checkbox question with these options

estuvierais
estuvisteis
estáis
estaréis
estuvieseis

Based on the lesson on this page, I would expect both the indicative and subjunctive to be correct (estuvisteis, estuvierais, estuvieseis).

However, the question had a hint:

(HINT: Conjugate "estar" in El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo)

Based on this I left off the indicative and my responses (just estuvierais and estuvieseis) were scored as correct.

The result is that I'm left uncertain about using estuvisteis here, and about the limits of the applicability of the lesson on the page.

If estuvisteis is OK here, then I think the question should be revised to not have that hint, and to check for the three correct answers. That way students like me wouldn't be confused thinking "Well, in the lesson , it says you can use indicative or subjunctive with no change in meaning. But here, apparently the indicative is wrong, so that lesson can't be trusted. I wonder what the real pattern is. I guess I'll need to look elsewhere to find out."

On the other hand, if the indicative is wrong here, then I think this lesson, or some other lesson, should give some hint about why that is so, since I'm reading this lesson as saying that either the subjunctive or indicative is OK.

Thanks for your help!

Why "olviden sus problemas" instead of "se olviden de sus problemas" or "olviden de sus problemas"?

No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo ________.

Shouldn't it be "ningunos" because tatuajes is masculine and plural?
