Nunca hubieras

“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.

Same subject, use subjunctive with "si"?

In this example we have the same subject in both clauses, but still use the subjunctive:

Te pondrías muy triste si me vieras sufrir.

Is this because "si" is used? Would it still use the subjunctive if we use "que" in the above sentence?

Thanks.

Will this "rule of thumb" work?

I like to think that if neither the speaker nor the listener can SEE what they are talking about, then we use allí. Would this work?

¿Por qué solo acepta "impresionantes vistas"?

Mi respuesta "Vistas impresionantes a la playa" también es correcta, ¿no?

Marked daily changes in sunset and sunrise times.

Muchas gracias Silvia, Shui e Inma -

Hay otro hecho interesante [¿e importante?]:

Durante el mes de septiembre [y también en marzo], la latitud del sol [es decir su posición encima de la superficie de la Tierra] cambia más que en los otros meses [durante su viaje N>S, o S>N]. Por eso, las duraciones de luz del día están disminuendo muy perceptiblemente - por 27½ minutos durante esta semana [en Londres].

Todo esto haría...

Hola, the second last sentence says " Todo esto haría crecer nuestro negocio.". Can it be "Todo esto crecería nuestro negocio."? If it can, what would be the difference between these two expressions? Thank you.
