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.
