Hola,

So with a specific date, is the construction 

Desde hace + specific date + que + verb in preterite 

Desde hace 2010 que terminé mis estudios

?

Gracias,

¿Porque se dice ambos, el presente perfecto (en otros textos) y el pretérito perfecto? Esto me confunde  mucho... ¡Muchas gracias!

In the lesson "Use Hace + length of time + que + El Indefinido "  we have this example:

-¿Dónde está Jaime? -Hace dos horas que se fue.
-Where is Jaime? -He left two hours ago.

In the lesson "When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past in European Spanish (Perfecto vs Indefinido)" we have this example:

Note: If you talk about time ago using hace then the tense will still depend on whether the event in question was 'today' or another day:

Lo he visto hace 2 minutos.
I saw him two minutes ago.

Are they both correct?  It they are, that tells me that when using "Hace + length of time + que + El Indefinido", we could either of these?

No ________ a más de 50 kilómetros por hora! Don't drive at more than 50 kilometres per hour!

The "correct" answer provided was conduzcáis with conducid was not an option.  A mistake?

Vosotros quisisteis comprar flores a Manuela.

Hi! In the above sentence, if the flowers were a present, would they buy them "para" instead of "a" Manuela? Just wondering if I'm correct that the "a" makes it more like a service than a present.

Hi,

In the sentence, "Los pájaros son sus animales favoritos.", how can you tell who 'sus' is without a prompt?

Thanks.

I know that the lesson is about the use of the infinitive as a noun, but why would the use of an actual noun be wrong as in:-  "Planificacion"  (With an accent on the "o")
