Right the giant sequoia is the largest tree, not the oldest.

And when the translation isn't very good, please do correct it

In Spain: Me pregunto por qué mi coche está sucio (or something like that).

María, in Spain would you use the future tense at all for conjecture? For example:

¿Cuánta gente habrá aquí?
I wonder how many people are here.

Or would you say something more like the following:

Me pregunto cuánta gente está aquí.

Both tenses sound ok to me and I think the difference in meaning must be very small or non-existent. But in your second sentence I would use the verb haber as well : Me pregunto cuánta gente hay aquí, but maybe that's just me.

Yeah I agree with my friend Mary the second options is better than the first options, you would use the word Haber.

Haber cuando te conosco Maria Jose, jijijijij.

No tienes más que montarte en un avión y venirte a Madrid, porque yo con el pánico que me dan los objetos volantes de cualquier tipo... Pero los uso todos los años para ir a Inglaterra, y cuando me toque la lotería seguro que cruzo el charco. A girl can dream...
