In “ Cada domingo estudio español ________ almuerzo.”  since the subject is the same in both clauses, can’t you use the infinitive without que “desde terminar el” ?

In this question, A ellos les interesaba que ________ de la reunión antes.

why is hubieran venido correct, but hubiesen venido incorrect?  Aren’t they interchangeable?

Porque dices "revisa la redacción antes de mandarLO"? Me parece que el pronombre "la" sea más adecuado puesto que el sustantivo "redacción" es femenino. Si puedes explicarme porque es así lo agradeciría muchísimo.

Why is “de” used in sentences with marravilla? 

 A mi abuela se le da de maravilla hacer punto.  

A Lucía se le daban de maravilla los crucigramas pero ahora no le interesan.

This construction reminds me very much of the English use of “on [object pronoun]”, which is commonly used colloquially in the US. I can’t remember if I have ever heard UK speakers use it. There is another version that also inserts “up and” in front of the verb, which is usually but not necessarily in the past. 

Eg:

My dog died on me.  

(Or: My dog up and died on me.)

My car battery (up and) went dead on me.

My sister’s landlord sold the apartment building on her. 

My dad’s assistant (up and) quit on him right in the middle of the busy season.

In the sentence

En el ano 2010, usted   ____________ para una escuela a primero.  When you use usted  wouldn't the word be trabajar with an abas ending?

No entiendo el uso del imperfecto en esta frase ni el enlace a esta explicación gramatical: Using the Spanish imperfect subjunctive in hypothetical clauses introduced by si followed by the Spanish conditional simple.  Yo utilicé el condicional. Gracias
