In many lessons, we're told not to use the subjunctive when we have the same subject in both clauses. Yet a few examples in this lesson don't follow this rule. Could you please help us to understand when the rule applies and when it doesn't? Thanks.
Do we use' el que' with subjunctive ?
When working through the exercise, "En la televisión anunciaron nuevas medidas económicas …" was accepted as correct, but in the final version [which gets read to us at the end], "En la televisión anunciaban nuevas medidas económicas" was preferred... > This is not really a criticism or a question, because a good case can be made for each of those^ tenses - but you might like to cover that point to reassure us.
What is the difference between:
ser + [noun]
and
ser un + [noun]
What is the use case for each?
The combined verb with pronouns now has an accent [´] even if didn't have one as a simple imperative with no pronouns, this is to maintain the pronunciation of the original verb.
It appears that a space is missing in the bullet point: "in the subordinate sentence after quererque we use El Imperfecto Subjuntivo."
It looks like a space may be needed in "quererque" to divide this into two words: "querer" and "que." Or is there a circumstance in which it would be correct to combine these?
Please explain why it was necessary to insert "los" before ojos azules. I have trouble understanding when articles (both definite and indefinite) can be omitted and when they are required in written (and spoken for that matter) Spanish.
Thank you,

Is there a missing "s"? Wouldn't it be "los aplausos en las calles"?
Hace dos días Manuel ________ con el jefe sobre el nuevo proyecto. Two days ago Manuel was speaking with his boss about the new project.(HINT: Conjugate "hablar" in El pretérito Indefinido progresivo)estuvo hablandoesutvo hablando
Can't most of these time markers also be used in the present tense? Does the heading mean that if the past tense is used, then it must be the Imperfect? For people like me who are easily confused, could the heading be revised to clarify?
