Nuevas tecnologías

Is ´"tecnologías nuevas" wrong? I thought nueva could be put before or after the noun?

Conjugate verbs in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de SubjuntivoParece como si hubieses tenido una pelea con alguien.It looks as if you have had a fight with someone.
This is in the lesson plan. But according to a chart in a textbook I have, if the verb in the main clause is in the present (parece), then the dependent clause would be imperfect subjunctive or present perfect subjunctive. So the correct Spanish for what is written in English above would be "Parece como si hayas tenido una pelea con alguien." And the correct English translation for the Spanish sentence in the lesson would be, "It looks as if you had had a fight with someone," which is not a normal expression. The Spanish should be "Parecia como si hubieras tenido ..." Please advise if I am incorrect and why. Thanks so much.

Aunque + Subjuntivo

In the test you say the situation is hypothetical but the answer is in the future tense. Shouldn't it be in the subjunctive?

Use of present perfect or present to describe continuing action

I don’t understand why my answer to this question is wrong, using the present perfect (ha trabajado). My understanding is that the present perfect can be used to describe actions that continue up to the present . May be the question to be translated should be ‘Juan has continued to work in the same company for 5 years’, then only use of the present (trabaja) would be correct. Or have I misunderstood?
