Hi - In your topic on El Condicional Simple, the description reads as follows : "El Condicional Simple expresses hypothetical actions that would or might happen in the past and in the future. It is also used to express wishes, to give advice and suggestions or to invite and ask in a polite way."

How does one differentiate between this description and the use of El Futuro Simple for the use in prediction, probability and speculation? Seems quite confusing and overlapping.

Hi,

The two problems with use of English posted some time ago are still not fixed.  Hence, I'm still struggling to get to grips with this lesson.

"If I went to the hairdresser's" in English means; "If I were to go".  They are equivqlent.

Similarly.  "If he had an accident"  is equivalent to " if he were  to have an accident".

In both cases, the first sentence is common usage.  The second using the the subjunctive is very uncommon in everyday English.

Hola!

why (mi) in (para soprender a mi familia) is preceded by (a)? and what does it mean? 

In the example La pájaro vuela sobre tu cabeza, why is it "tu" cabeza. I thought when talking about body parts and clothing we should use the definite articles rather than the possessive adjectives.  

It is not clear when to use qué after mismo. For e.g.

Andrea lleva la misma camisa que llevaba ayer.

Vs.

No me cuentes de nuevo la misma historia.

También está correcto la contestación: "Yo estoy", pues viene del verbo estar. Además los verbos: estar, llegar y regresar son sinónimos. Volver (vuelvo), estar(estoy), llegar(llego). Entiendo que las dos premisas son correctas, tanto la que utilizas como la que utilicé en el contexto. 

Can I use que instead of el/la/los/las que? Would the meaning be similar only with less emphasized pronoun ... who instead if the one who?

Aquella mujer, que/ la que...

Hola, 

I never received a reply to my 2nd question below, it starts like this:

"Hello Inma,
