if the main clause is in future tense, do we use subjunctive too?

I will study harder so that my parents will bring me overseas
hi what's the rule for using the subjunctive here?thank you
I'm breathless from just listening to the vocal race to the end. I'll bet there was some turrón waiting . . .
In the quiz question with the answers "We have to be patient with our teenage children.
We need to be patient with our teenage children."
As a native English speaker, I don't understand the distinction being made between these two options. They seem synonymous.
When SE is used in a sentance, how kan we know if it referes to a "he" or a "she"??
Examples taken from your grammer:
Prepara la carne para el = Preparasela = Prepare it (the meat) for HIM
Firmen el documento para ella = Firmenselo = Sign it (the document) for HER
Hi,
For the sections "Eran aún mejores que..." and then after this "...en mis sueños.", I believe it might be a bit confusing to separate these parts of the same sentence as the use of the imperfect or preterite tense for the 'Ser' in this sentence relies on the context of to when this action refers. Just seeing the prompt "They were even better than...", I assumed that it was referring to the actual concert, which you would use the preterite of 'Ser' (Fueron) as it is a single and defined event, however when you see "...in my dreams." you then see it was referring to multiple, repeated instances so you would hence use the imperfect tense (Eran).
Perhaps I am mistaken?
Regardless, these quizzes are very good for practical and realistic Spanish usage.
Thanks,
Angus.
Regarding this quiz question:
Tengo estos dos pares de botas, ¿________prefieres?
The answer is “cuáles” which means that “par” is plural, and not singular as in English. Is this correct? In general, when do we think of groups as plural?
Also, how does this affect general usage? Do we say, “los par son bonitos”? Thanks.
Puedo usar el futuro simples en esta oracione? "En la reunión, vamos a hablar de nuevas tecnologías y vamos a intercambiar ideas." Podria decir: "hablaremos de nuevas tecnologias y intercambiaremos ideas"?
