¿dónde habréis estado de aquí a 10 años"

Hola,

1. Would "¿dónde habréis estado en 10 años a partir de ahora?" be acceptable?

2. Is there a lesson available on when it is best to place an adjective before a noun - I put cristalinas before aguas.

Regards. John

When to use future perfect?

Can you please explain when to use the future perfect vs the forms of deber in this lesson? Do they all mean the same thing or are there distinct use cases?

Se animaron?

"Mis padres se animaron con la visita de mis sobrinos." I don't understand why this is animarse. They aren't cheering themselves up, they're being cheered up by the visit of mis sobrinos.

Question about subjunctive

Hello, there is a section called "Variable Subjunctive" that has the sentence: 

no tengo un profesor que viva en madrid 

which means: 

I don't have a teacher that lives in madrid.

My question is why would this be a subjunctive, it seems like what this person is saying is a fact that he knows that he doesn't have a teacher that lives in madrid. Or maybe he's trying to say that he doesn't have a teacher that he KNOWS OF. Idk I just want to know why it's a subjunctive. thank you

mejor contextoLa policía ofrecería protección al criminal con tal de que él confesara los nombres de los jefes de la banda.The police would offer protection to the criminal as long as he gave the names of the gang's leaders.
Me deseo que los exemplos fueron mas relevantan. Criminials confessing to police is from drama, movies..

Still ongoing action?I am confused that "have been waiting" is wrong, and "had been waiting" is correct.Based on this lesson, In Spanish we can use the verb llevar followed by a gerund (Gerundio) in order to express the duration of a still-ongoing action:
Llevábamos esperando el tren mucho tiempo." means:I couldn't wait for the train for a long time.We had to wait for the train for a long time.✔️We had been waiting for the train for a long time.✖️ We have been waiting for the train for a long time.

Liais criais

The RAE seems to say that it is correct to have no accent on the vosotros vorms of liar and criar.
