Several of my answers in several tests are misrecorded. I answered one way and it says I answered something else. What's going on?

Also, you should have explained that capitalizing, punctuation and accents must be correct. I was marked wrong for not putting a period at the end nd not capitalizing at the beginning. I don't mind but I would like to have known before i took the test.

Hola! Podrías explicar por qué tendríamos que usar 'sonara' aquí en lugar de 'suene' o 'haya sonado'? Serían todas correctas y simplemente significan cosas diferentes? Gracias! 

Can this not also mean buy it for yourself in a formal you?  Don’t worry I have just worked it out. My error.

Why is it “los más ricos” and “los más listos”?

If the assumption is that we are referring to people, (la gente or las personas), should they not take the feminine form?

If the main clause uses a tense or a mood that implies a future action, for example El Imperativo  or El Futuro Simple, then the por si/por si acaso clause uses El Presente (probable) or El Pretérito Imperfecto Subjuntivo (less probable)

It's in wider use in the phrase 'wild blue yonder'
