the question was"

Es posible que ellas                un nuevo estillo.

the HINT: conjugate 'crear' in el presente subjuntivo.

I wrote 'crean'  but was marked incorrect - it should be 'creen' 

I am sure that I am indeed wrong - but I don't understand why?!

I’m the examples “that is an umbrella” and “I have an idea” where there is no clear gender established is it acceptable to use either un or una?

In this exercise, the phrase "Este torero es cordobés." is pronounced by your recorded speaker as if the final word is spelled "cordobéz".  Which is correct?

I have 2 questions about "no puedo esperar a ver":

1. First I was surprised by the 'a' after 'esperar'.  When do you use this construct rather than esperar on it's own? 

2. In the grammar link for that sentence it says that you shouldn't use this construct at all, so when should you vs when shouldn't you:

"Literal translations from English to Spanish don't work. In this context, do not use this type of construction in the English way:

"Estoy mirando a..." (I am looking forward to...)

"No puedo esperar a..." (I can't wait to...)"

I looked at the comments regarding quería and querría .  But I do not see anyone asking abut Quisiera as I translation for "I would like".  Would that also be translated in the present.

Also, I thought that when the speaker says what she would like, that part of the sentence would not be subjunctive.Although, I think that when an English speaker says "I would like you to .. . ." as opposed to "I want you to..." the former is softer, I just have a lot of trouble with the subjunctive and to be sure I understand this part of it
