Hi, re “si sigues”, is there a lesson on use of present subjunctive after si? I searched but didn’t find one. Saludos, Shirley.

Come usage Hi I realize it's a little off topic from the verb trabajar, but in the second example the use of the word Como is confusing me.
Yo trabajo como secretaria en una empresa.I work as a secretary in a company.
Doesn't Como mean "how"? As in "Como estas" But in the example above it seems like it means "as". Also I have seen it mean "eat". Am I mixing something up here?
Thank you

Is there a reason that the verb tense is "buscaria" "reduciria" instead of "busca" "reduce" etc.?

Equivalent to: To be + past participle

As equivalent English examples, may I suggest:

To be opened with care.

To be applied...

rather than "Let it be opened..." etc?

Audio differs from the textLos niños nuevos se empezaban a sentir más cómodos…but the audio is “se sentían” (más cómodos…). Thanks, Shirley.

Why does the example sentence use Indefinido

I don't understand why Indefinido is used in the example; "Nos gustamos desde el primer momento." It has a definite starting point, but the sentence implies a continuing action. In this case could Imperfecto also be used correctly?
