Hola,
In the sentence "I could be Superman", is it more natural to say "yo podría ser Superman", or "yo sería Superman"?
Gracias,
We do not use vosotros in Colombia, this is really messing up my tests. Is there a way to avoid this? It is just confusing to learn something that is not necessary.
Are "antes de que" and "antes que" fully interchangeable? Does one sound better than the other or is used more in one or another situation? (It could help to say this explicitly.)
Also, you run through the various past/present/future possibilities of "después de que" noting where the subjunctive or indicative is used. You don't give as many cases for "antes de que". Is it correct to infer that regardless of whether we are referring to a past, present or future event, "antes de que" must always be followed by the subjunctive. (Might help to say so explicitly if this is the case.)
I still don't get email notifications when new answers are posted.
On my latest quiz, I was asked to write “Alicia has as much joy as Carmen.” I chose “Alicia tiene tanta alegría como Carmen”, because I understood “tanta” means “as much/as many…as”. My answer was wrong. The correct answer is “Alicia tiene tan alegría como Carmen”. I thought “tan” here meant ”as…as”. Did I misunderstand something from the tan/tanta mini-lessons?
Two of the examples shown for por are still confusing for me (por mí, jaja). Both translate to "for + pronoun", but I am having a hard time knowing the difference here. It seems subtle.
Antonio lo ha hecho por mí.
Antonio has done it for me.
Para ti es muy fácil todo.
For you everything is easy.
I went to notebook for subject QUERER QUE and didn't let me retake the quiz.
It had yellow highlight that was in the lesson itself.
could you, please, explain why not fue un pintor? The action is completed, ya que está muerto.
Saludos

I thought general experiences were talked about in the Imperfect. The time markers given in this lesson match up with https://spanish.kwiziq.com/learn/theme/746448.
And also this lesson seems to indicate using the Imperfect:
Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)
Should this not be singular eg. En perfecta condición as we are talking about a book and your hint suggests singular. I lent it to him in perfect condition.
Dear Kwizteam,
I noticed that this construction places a comma before 'que' but not before 'porque'. In English, if the subordinate clause follows the independent clause, there is no comma. In Spanish, does this depend on the type of subordinate conjunction used?
Regards.
