I learned Spanish in Mexico and this usage is not familiar to me. Is it more likely found in Spain?
What is the correct position of adverb in a sentence, before or after verb?
Mostly, I've seen it being placed before the verb but here hay comes before también. I know the reverse is correct, but my question is hay an exception to such cases where adverb may appear before verb?
I see quite some time has been devoted to this subject. The first time I read the hairdresser example, the English struck me as quite wrong. I would add my two cents as follows:
If I went to the hairdresser, I'd spend a lot of money or If I went (had gone) to the hairdresser, I would have spent a lot of money.
Those seem to me to be the simplest way to correct it because one can't correctly say I would spent.

Hola,
In the sentence "The hotel has a very big swimming pool surrounded by grass", shouldn't 'cuenta con' be an acceptable alternative to 'tiene'?
Gracias,

In the question "En el viaje ________ un niño atrás", the answer was 'se nos quedó'. Could you give a literal translation of this sentence because otherwise it seems like the verb agrees with the object of the sentence rather than the subject. I guess I'm asking for a way of translating quedar in my head so that even if it makes the English awkward, I can also keep straight subject and object (much like I can substitute "is pleasing" for gustar).
Thanks!
Hola Inma,
-Juan le compró a su mujer un diamante. -Le habrá comprado un diamante pero no le hace ni caso.In the above example of yours, is it correct to use le compraría /le habría comprado un diamante pero no le hace ni caso, since le compró is a past accion.
I' m really confused with these two lessons: using el Futuro Simple / Futuro Perfecto to express objection,disbelief and using el Conticional simple / Conticional Perfecto to express objection,disbelief.
Muchas gracias!

In the first question of the quiz above, why is there no personal 'a' before 'este cliente'. Would it be more grammatically correct to write 'conseguir a este cliente' considering that the customer is a person? Thank you!
