Hola Inma,

1)  El hecho de que no haya. 

Why do you use subjunctive here? I thought el hecho is refering to something real (la falta de la oferta).

2)  ....  hasta que pueden dejar la casa de sus padres. 

In this case (future action) i would use the subjunctive. Would it be wrong?

¡Feliz año nuevo!

I was told in writing here in this app (and in another Spanish app) that when saying what you are (what your profession is), you do not put an article before the name of your occupation.  Example:  “Mi papá es médico.” (My dad is a doctor.) - No un of una.  I took a test here earlier today and someone is a carpenter.  I left out the article and was correct.  Did I miss an exception?  I will say that in this test, it was the person saying what their own profession is. “Yo soy un ?”  I’ve already forgotten what the job was.  Can anyone let me know?  Gracias. 

Do we use' el que'  with subjunctive ?

One of the quiz examples translates  They achieved the objectives for the year.  using el preterito indefinido.    

My first thought would be that this sentence would fall under the "in the same time period" rule and end up being el preterito perfecto (rule is at this link) link  When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)

I am curious how I can tell (other than the hint given in the exercise) that this should be indefinido.

Thanks.

Why is creer not the right verb for "she thought that" . Difference between pensar and creer please?
