Para + Infinitive with the same subject / Using "Ojalá" with the Imperfect subjunctive/ Maybe two typos?1. Instead of "para que seamos más felices", could we also say "para ser más felices"? - because the subject is the same in the two clauses?
2. With "Ojalá", you point us towards the lesson Using ojalá + the present subjunctive to express hope (El Presente de Subjuntivo) - which illustrates the use of the *present* subjunctive (when expressing a *future* idea). However, perhaps it would be worth emphasising that in this particular writing exercise ("Carmen"), the *imperfect* subjunctive has to be utilised because the speaker is not really referring to the future?
3. You give "al cual que podemos transformar con los pensamientos" as a possible answer, but should the "que" not be removed? - (or if it is permissible, then you should really mention that in the lesson Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns) ).
4. (Something very trivial !) > 'Nuestro' has lost its "r" in the Kviziq answer given as "Todos podemos cambiar nuesto modo de pensar".
I thought that Os was the pronoun for vosotros in this lesson so now I am confused how to use Os since it is not used in Mexico and the lesson did not explain it. I appreciate your help with this
Could you translate this as:
Espero que llegaras anoche
Mil gracias
"le llamo" should be accepted, no?

Hola
Why is the imperfect subjunctive used, as it is not a repeated or continued action?
Many thanks
Hola Inma,
I'm not familiar with this construction "Has (Hacer) de."
I have looked it up (WordReference) but can't reconcile the meanings that they provide, with the phrase in this exercise.
Can you help with it please?
Saludos
John
________ (Busquemos) un apartamento más grande para los cuatro.
Why does this sentence need a subjunctive (as stated in the hint)?
Hola, Inma,
In a previous reply to Remy, you gave the example:
Quizás Miguel no apruebe.
He may not pass (in the future, he hasn't done the exam yet)
Quizás Miguel no aprobara.
He may not have passed (he already did the exam and we doubt if he passed or not)
Is it possible to use the perfect here
Quizás Miguel no haya aprobado.
and if so, how would the meaning be different from the earlier two examples?
Thanks in advance for your help.
