The difference between an "event still to happen" and one that "will happen" can be determined only by the ability to predict the future. It is not a grammatical issue. So neither the indicative nor subjunctive choice is grammatically incorrect. It's a semantic difference, not a grammatical one. I've seen you make very different choices -- different from what I thought was meant.

Ruidososísimo or ruidísimo

The third example above is written "Los conciertos de la calle son ruidosísimos."

If so, it seems to violate the rule of taking the masculin form and replacing the "o" with "ísimo".

If not, is it a typo?

Hubieran vs. hubiesen

Hi. Was this marked wrong because I'm studying LA Spanish and chose "hubiesen aprobado" (used more in Spain) instead of "hubieran aprobado"? Thanks!

Ojalá ustedes ________ el examen final. I wish you had passed the final exam.(HINT: Use "ustedes" form to conjugate "aprobar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo)

Sentirse vs sentir

The test question is:

She feels that she is not progressing much at work.The answer is siente. This doesn't seem correct because:
1. it is not followed by a noun
2. It describes a complex subjective feeling
