Should I add "estar + gerund" to list of verbs that act like Gustar?
I don't understand.
I would think that because people hang curtains inside, it would be logical to use “rincón” instead of “esquina”.
Hello, I'm trying to get a better understanding of when to use different constructions.
Specifically:
Si Amalia va al mercado, comprará pescado fresco.
Si Amalia fuera al mercado, compraría pescado fresco.
These two constructions express the same idea. How do we know which one to choose? Is our choice solely based on the probability of the action in the "si" clause?
Thanks.
Excellent having these examples of pleasantries all in one place.
1) Just wondering if "las ciencias medioambientales" is the most common way to say environmental sciences? The online dictionary I used suggested "la ciencia ambiental".
2) Can you use "así" in place of "de esta manera" in the sentence: "cree que de esta manera podrá ayudar..."?
Probably not.
Why did Kwiziq insert "una" in front of "astrónoma" but not in front of "miembro"?

Inma's answer below on time clauses and manner clauses got my attention and I looked at other web sites to learn about the types of adverbial clauses. This is a rich topic with lots to explore. It would be great if you could do a lesson on Kwiziq on the types of adverbial clauses.
I noticed that "lunch" was turned into a noun in the English translation. That really is not necessary because every English speaker is familiar with "lunch" being used as a verb. It is not common, but not improper or unknown. If Spanish speakers think of it as a verb, then it can only help learners to think of it as a verb as well, no?
