In the lesson on 'Para mí que' it gives its use as - 'we simply express having a feeling, an inkling about something happening'
The English text here says 'What amazes me...' Surely that's stronger than an inkling!
It also says 'esta sigue siendo un medio de lo más popular' Why isn't it 'este' as it refers to the masculine word medio
Gracias
So when we say we 'wonder' in english we are also saying that we 'speculate'?
And how does that indicate the future when we are currently speculating? How does speculation imply the future? Is it that some result could eventually be revealed?

Blanca no viene a la reunión esta tarde y Carolina no viene tampoco. Solo somos tres.Blanca isn't coming to the meeting this afternoon and neither is Carolina. There's just three of us.If there IS more than one, it should be 'there ARE' It is used incorrectly 2 times....Hi, I have been told (by two different Spanish people) that 'Me estoy leyendo...' signifies 'I am reading (right now)...', but I cannot find any lessons relating to this. Is there such a lesson?
Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"
> My boyfriend is always asking me to be patient with him.
Translating this into the English subjunctive would be “My boyfriend is always asking that I be patient with him.” And that keeps the “que=that” part of things too!

i found these sentences when reading a book. this is my first time seeing how conseguir is used with another verb infinitive. may i ask for a explanation? is this usage where conseguir + infinitive carries the meaning of manage to do something (verb) similar to poder + infinitive?

¡Qué tazón de café me he tomado esta mañana!I had a really big cup of coffee this morning!
Your answer to Marcos does not explain why a feminine version exists since, as you say, 'When we form a noun using the augmentative suffix -ón, the new word is always masculine, regardless of the gender of the originating noun. This is because nouns ending in -ón are generally masculine’.
