Spanish language Q&A Forum

There is a beautiful song, "Yolanda," by the Cuban singer/songwriter Pablo Milanés. The construction of one sentence using faltar confounds me: "Si me faltaras no voy a morirme." Why is faltar conjugated in second person singular? I'm having trouble fitting this usage in with any of the lesson examples. What am I missing? Thank you!

I was completely thrown by the inclusion of the words "About to".

Iba a avisarte would just mean "I was going to warn you"

I was about to warn you should surely be:  "Estaba a punto de advertirte"   Not given as an option

Can I suspend my membership in the French course until I am ready to resume?

Thank you, Inma

For example

Ellos no saben cuándo van a llegar

Ellos no saben que lleguen?

Yo no sé cuándo van a llegar

Yo no sé que lleguen/llegarán?

They all have an element of doubt in which would suggest the subjunctive but there is a rule here that I am not understanding fully!

Thanks

Nick

Hola,

Los mariscos en Grecia estaban riquísimos

I would have said eran riquísimos - because it's a characteristic.

Why am I wrong? :)

Gracias,

Gracias por esta ejercicio. Fue muy útil. Tengo dos preguntas sobre un par de errores yo cometí. ¿Cual es la diferencia entre endurecer y fortalecer en este contexto? También, ¿cual es la diferencia entre mantenimiento y gestión? Gracias por su clarificación.
