En la segunda oración... ¿Solo puede ser

En la segunda oración... ¿Solo puede ser (como dado en la traducción), o puede ser también ?

Because... the English given was "Finally we are going on a cruise" (literally, "Por fin vamos de crucero"); and of course "Por fin vamos a ir de crucero" would literally be "Finally we are going to go on a cruise". I understand that the meaning underneath the use of the present tense English translation that was given indicates a future event; I'm just hoping for clarity about the correctness or acceptability of using the present tense in Spanish in this case. Thank you!

Multiple interpretations of one of the example sentence?

The example sentence:

"En esta tienda pueden comprarse unas joyas muy bonitas."

The translation is given is

"You can buy very nice jewels in this shop."

However could it also be translated as:

"They can buy themselves some very nice jewels in this shop."

if we interpret the se as being an indirect object rather than passive?

Throughout the year and it is recommended

For throughout the year you have suggested 'durante todo el ano but isn't al largo del ano also acceptable? (Sorry I could not type the tilde). Similarly sould you say ser recomendable as well as ser aconsejable for it is recommended?

Many thanks

Las Islas Carnarias_____en el oceano atlanticoYou are using exceptions of the rules to trick students. You can't move islands, so it makes sense to use "son en el oceano atlantico" and you know all A1 students will get that question wrong.

Use of subjunctive

Just want to confirm that the use of the subjunctive follows the normal pattern: when the thing is unknown, we use the subjunctive to indicate "whatever".

Te presto mi ropa; puedes ponerte lo que más te guste.

Thanks.
