Extrañamos estos festivales ahora con la pandemia

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? 

I'm confused by the English translation: (I didn't have any chewing gum in my pocket.) for No llevaba ningún chicle en el bosillo. 

Question: Why is this not "No tenía ningún ...?

The translation I remember of llevar from an earlier lesson is to take.

Am I wrong here? Please clarify.

This story was very weird 

In English there is a difference between 'stop smoking' as in put down the cigarette your smoking right now and 'stop to smoke' as in in quit smoking for good. Anything like that in Spanish?

Why is my answer wrong, I have used desde but the tense is marked wrong

I've  =    I have

so why not present perfect?

In the first  example above viz. A   el no imporatba lo que hubiera dicho

it reads as if I really had said something and if so, why not indicative?

After explaining the whole story (which happened "hoy") with preterito perfecto , why did we use  Preterio Indefinido in the end? 

: el profesor me felicitó.

I thought it would have been "me ha felicitado"
