Spanish language Q&A Forum

I looked at the comments regarding quería and querría .  But I do not see anyone asking abut Quisiera as I translation for "I would like".  Would that also be translated in the present.

Also, I thought that when the speaker says what she would like, that part of the sentence would not be subjunctive.Although, I think that when an English speaker says "I would like you to .. . ." as opposed to "I want you to..." the former is softer, I just have a lot of trouble with the subjunctive and to be sure I understand this part of it

Why is it "Han salido" and not "Salieron"

Thank you! 

Hi,

On this exercise the question is 

He pedido a la mensajería que ........... el paquete por la tarde/ I have asked the delivery company to deliver the parcel in the afternoon.

The hint is to conjugate the ellos form of entregar  in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

Why is this to be in the plural form and not singular? As it states la mensajería/ the company which is singular.

I don't understand this question. What about ella hermana _______de novio. What will be the answer?

Hi,

I was wondering why the "present" tense is used in Spanish for "llamar" which is then translated in the future tense.  Why not llamaremos?

Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
After the party we will call a taxi.

Thank you. 

Hi, I have a question concerning this text: 

"at the beginning of the 17th century,"

a comienzos del siglo XVII, 

why is the plural used here and not the singular? 

What rules/lesson pertain to this?

Thank you, NIcole

HI Inma 

I'm not sure why the answer for this is conjugated singular (ha gustado) & not plural (han gustado);

Siempre me ________ leer autobiografías de gente famosa.

Thank you.
