Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as: "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".

Hi, does discretamente here mean “quietly”? Gracias, Shirley.
1. ¿En el verano qué instalan en España en las ciudades y los pueblos?
“Nunca hubieras pensado que hubiese tantas formas de disculparse.” Hola, this sentence is from the B2 Listening exercise on how to apologize in spanish. I don’t know why Nunca triggers the imperfect subjunctive. Maybe this example could be included in the examples in this lesson? Muchas gracias, Shirley.
It says, Además, me encantaría que mis alumnos desarrollen....
I was thinking it would say instead, Además me encantaría que mis alumnos desarrollaran...
Maybe I am overgeneralizing a concept or rule that isn't used here?
Question: ¡Estén atentos! means: Pay attention!
I don't see anywhere on the lesson that explains this usage. It seems like it's being used as a command/order.
Hi,
In many lessons and responses to questions, I have read that when deciding if you are to use imperfecto or indefinido, it is up to how the speaker thinks about the event. If the speaker thinks the event had a clear start and end, you should use indefinido, and if not you use imperfecto. Does this mean that it is entirely up to the speaker to decide which past tense is correct? I understand that there are situations where it is clear which is right and wrong, but I feel like in many cases it is a bit more ambiguous.
Creo que no -Wouldn't this call the subjunctive (conozca) NOT the present indicative?
