Confused about when the subjunctive is triggered

In the quiz question: "¿Crees que ellos me ________ ese favor?

Do you think they would do me that favour?" We're told to put hacer in the conditional. If the sentence had instead started "¿No crees que..." what would the correct tense be for hacer?

Preposition 'en' in example "hayáis reservado en el restaurante"

Hi Inma,

Just a little question off topic.

In the example;

"Espero que hayáis reservado en el restaurante con antelación."

The preposition used is 'en' before el restaurante. In this sense do they mean 'at the restaurant' or 'in the restuarante'. Are there other prepositions you could use with reservar (like 'con') or is 'en' the standard preposition here.

Many Thanks

tiene vs cuenta con

Hola,

In the sentence "The hotel has a very big swimming pool surrounded by grass", shouldn't 'cuenta con' be an acceptable alternative to 'tiene'?

Gracias,

Benhur

Confusion over singular person

Me extraña que él quiera venir al cine con nosotras. (I'm surprised he wants to come to the cinema with us.)

I'm confused by what appears to be third person (extraña) rather than first person (extraño) in this sentence. Please explain. Is it similar to use of the verb "gustar" --- where third person is used?

Faulty vocab for "to turn" in this context

Girar is not, and certainly not 'torcer', used for a person to "turn" when giving directions - just 'ir'. Faulty vocab for this context.
