I think I understood this except, but I'd feel better if there was a translation, too. 

I had this question in a test and got it right, but I thought I read somewhere that the subjunctive is suppose to have a change of subject, but it is not true in this case (creo=yo, sepa=yo).  Can you help to clarify?  Thank you.

holding down the letter doesn't give me an accent

iHola!

Could you please clarify the point:

No se marcha porque está cansado (No se marcha y la causa es que está cansado)

No se marcha porque esté cansado, sino porque se ha enfadado (Se marcha y la causa no es que está cansado)

I've come upon a sentence:

No vino porque no quisiera, sino porque no pudo (The translation says: He did not come not because he didn't want, but because he could not) 

So I wonder if it really says that somebody didn't come. I guess one "not" is missing

Regards,

Hi, I was wondering if in the following examples, "cuando" can be interchanged with "si", because there are lessons about si-sentences with the exact same combination of tenses/modes to excited hypothetical situations.

Ella te habría perdonado cuando tú le hubieras pedido perdón.

She would have forgiven you when you had apologised to her. (hypothetical situation)

Dijo que me llamaría cuando llegara al hotel.

He said he'd call me when he arrives at the hotel. (future/hypothetical event)

"Me llamo Juan". I am confused because there is no verb.   Is it incorrect to say "Me llamo es Juan"?  Where else in Spanish are verbs omitted?

Gracias

In the lesson you give examples for estar deseando in imperfect, but not for tener ganas de. I feel pretty sure I could use tener ganas de in imperfect as well, but neither seems to fit well with preterite. 

Could you say more about how these two are used with other moods and tenses and what limitations, if any, exist.

EDIT: Sorry, I see you answered part of this in an earlier reply. However, could you indicate any other limitations that might apply. I wonder about subjunctive too.
