The examples make sense of using, ex: tuviera, because the subject “had” something in the past. However, I’m confused by the test question because I don’t see a reference to the past. The sentence is “I hope i have a son by the time im 33.” I understand Ojalá triggers the subjunctive but I don’t see the connection to the last and therefore don’t understand why “tuviera” was the correct answer. I only selected it because it was the only subjunctive response.
!No me encuentro/no encuentro las llaves del coche! is the test item.

Encontrarse is said to be used when "surprised to discover something". I interpreted the exclamation marks as indicating surprise at discovering I was unable to find the keys. I was probably overthinking it, ?verdad?
If querer que is a subjunctive because it expresses wants, why is the negative also subjunctive? It expresses "not wants". Or is it because that technically also counts as a want? I remember reading that if you have a negative of a subjunctive it becomes an indicative
Diría: “The ones that have failed all the subjects, will have to repeat this year.” Las dos traducciones son bastantes distintas: suspendido todos o suspendido uno.
