Spanish language Q&A Forum

Is this common usage in both spoken and written Spanish? Is it more common in Spain than in Latin America? (i.e. Will there be raised eyebrows if I use it in Mexico, like there often are when I use "cover?") Thanks!

I learned that you can use the futuro simple and the condicional simple to express something which might happen in the future.

Is the difference that the futuro simple only can be used with a sentence which states the probability of the action?

E.g.:

Tú ________ chocolate sin parar

Comerías

Pero:

Probablemente, tú comerás chocolate sin parar.

If my assumption is correct, what is the difference to:

Probablemente, tú comerías chocolate sin parar.

Paco ________ una manifestación en la ciudad.  Your answer:  Paco ha visto...Paco saw a demonstration in the city.(HINT: Conjugate “ver” in El Pretérito Perfecto)Why would this sentence use a perfect tense, when the event is clearly finished?Paco ha visto... - Paco has seen...  is very different than Paco saw.
