What is the difference between:
ser + [noun]

and 

ser un + [noun]

What is the use case for each?

Shouldn't this translate to "¿Queréis que Juan recitar un poema?"? However, in a kwiz, "¿Queréis que Juan recite un poema?", was the correct answer. But 'to recite' is in the infinitive.

In the question:

"____  vamos envejeciendo, nos van importando menos las cosas banales."

I see that conforme works, but why not "Cuánto más"? Is it that the "menos" should be in front? As:

"Cuánto más vamos envejeciendo, menos nos van importando las cosas banales."

Thanks!

If it is dependent on the speaker then how do you test students if they understand it? 

Por favor, enséñanos la pronunciación y la entonación correctas.

Could someone please clarify the vowel change from e->i on reir. It looks like it is just be dropping the e.

Thank you.
