Hola,

In the sentence 'if my wife sees me dressed like that...', is the subjunctive vea acceptable since it hasn't actually happened yet?

Gracias,

Benhur

Durante ese tiempo - the answer given is to use either tiempo or periodo. how about época?

No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo ________.

Shouldn't it be "ningunos" because tatuajes is masculine and plural?

Hola,

Is the 'a' always required? Can you say 'Maria le gusta', rather than 'A Maria le gusta'?

Apologies if I've missed it in the text.

Gracias,

In the question:

They will be very cold when they go to Scotland next December.

It seems to me that this is a quite certain plan, like one of the examples here: ‘ Cuando voy de vacaciones a Tenerife me hospedo en el hotel Olimpia.’

So I thought the answer should be in the indicative:

Tendrán mucho frío cuando irán a Escocia el próximo diciembre.

But the correct answer was in the subjunctive:

Tendrán mucho frío cuando vayan a Escocia el próximo diciembre.

Why is that? Is it a mistake?

Hi Inma,

This lesson says that sometimes haber in the imperfect subjunctive can replace haber in the conditional; but doesn't say when. I had a tutor in Mexico who claimed (that least in some cases) the construction had to be hubiera....hubiera; whereas a Mexican friend said the construction is always hubiera.....habría or vice versa depending on which clause comes first. This lesson seems to say you can replace habría with hubiera in this construction if you feel like it. Can you clarify this for me, please?

Hola Inma,

I do not understand the use of subjunctive here. Can you, please, explain?

Un beso
