I learned Spanish in Mexico and this usage is not familiar to me. Is it more likely found in Spain?

Hi Silvia. The phrase "expression of doubt" (I paraphrase) and the way it is used here seem ambiguous. How is it that according to the tests "creemos que" and "piensan que" don't express doubt; to me, since they don't express certainty, there is doubt. Likewise, how is it that "es impossible que" is followed by the subjunctive, when it expresses certainty that something is not possible. Please clarify. Thanks.

There is nothing hypothetical. It's a fact that the girl was upset that some people spoke to her boyfriend.. It should be indicative in my opinion... Pls help

Hello,

Thank you very much for this lesson !

It would greatly enhance your course and the use thereof if you included  the same “Play All” feature for all the examples given at the end of each of your approximately 600 lessons.  

Foggy and sunny are both adjectives so why does one use hay and one use está?

Hay niebla

Está soleado,

Gracias

From your examples we have

Hace viento
It is windy

Está soleado.
It is sunny

Hay niebla.
It is foggy

How do we know when to use which one please? 

Hola a todos,

‘Da igual cuál sea tu sueño...’

If I’m correct then I understand this sentence to mean, ‘It doesn’t matter what your dream is...’  The latter part of the sentence says, ‘it can be related to your lifestyle’. It’s the part of the sentence that says, ‘...no tiene por qué  estar relacionado con trabajo...’,  that I’m struggling with. I think I’m right to understand that it means, ‘it doesn’t have to be related with/to work’. I’m just not grasping the use of ‘por que’ here? Please could you explain it to me? 

Many thanks 

Clara :)
