El Futuro Proximo: when to use "a"

Hi there,

in the explanation for el Futuro proximo it is stated that you always use the verb go + a + infinitive, but in the quizzes, some answers are without the a, and I don't understand when to use "go + a + infinitive" and when to just use "go + infinitive"

Thanks

Why not subjunctive present tense?

In this item: "Era recomendable que fuéramos juntos a la excursión" why is "fuéramos" and not "vayamos" used for the translation "It was recommended that we go together on the trip."?

English translation________ parece una muñeca de porcelana. Because of all that make-up she looks like a porcelain doll.De tanto como se maquilla.
Hola, I’m confused about the English translation, which uses the noun make-up (maquillaje in Spanish). However the Spanish uses the verb se maquilla, which I thought means to put on make up (Because of all the makeup she puts on..). Muchas gracias, Shirley.

use of 'lo'

In the sentence 'David actoweluaba como si lo supiera todo' what is the function of 'lo'? Is it that 'el' cannot be used after after a word ending in a vowel?

Pude terminar el examen antes de que sonara la campanaPude terminar el examen antes de que sonara/suene/haya sonado la campana.

Hola! Podrías explicar por qué tendríamos que usar 'sonara' aquí en lugar de 'suene' o 'haya sonado'? Serían todas correctas y simplemente significan cosas diferentes? Gracias!
