Does “¿Dónde estarán?” mean both “where will they be?” and “where might they be?” ?

I would think there would be different ways to express the two different meanings in Spanish.

in the text...

´Me ha invitado al teatro varias veces, y se ha ofrecido a pagar para los dos.... ´

Question is....      Is ´se ha ofrecido´ a typo of ´me ha ofrecido´?

gracias de antemano

In the example "Los turistas fueron a El Salvador." Why isn't it "LAS turistas?"

So, Juan was supplying both sides of the Revolution with his harina tortillas and also took them across the Rio Grande? I always wondered where Taco John's restaurants came from! Or was that Taco Bell's?

+ es improbable

In a 10-question test these was the question:

¿Por qué lo ________ ?
Why are you cursing him?

I expected the answer would be a gerund, but it was not. Why was "cursing" used and not "curse?" As in, "Why (do) you curse him?"

Is there any advice to practice the rythm of spanish?

Él habría abierto la puerta.He would have opened the door.The speaker really says Habriabierto. 
I think spanish should be taught this way but then how would that work?

One of the examples is:

Su actitud se volvió violenta de repente.

Is it correct to assume that the change is a lasting one, as with someone who got hit on the head with a shovel and after that was a violent person?

Compared to:

Su actitud se puso violenta de repente.

In this case, cowboys in a saloon in a Western movie insult someone and he stands up quickly and draws his gun?

Just want to double check that these differences are correct.  Thanks.

Your article says: "In most places El Pretérito Indefinido will be used with "nunca" and "siempre" and even with time expressions which have a connection to the present, such as: hoy, este mes, este año, esta noche, esta mañana, esta semana..."

On a quiz, I used the indefinido in a question with a "time expression which has a connection to the present" (i.e. "hoy") and got the question wrong-- it was corrected to the perfecto. 

Is there something wrong with what I did? Are the quizes looking for peninsular or latin american answers? 

Silvia y Inma, you make a great team. I love this section of the website and wish it popped up twice a week! 

Besos . . .
