Now I am confused about the use of Presente de subjuntivo versus futuro. If the condition is presently probable or future probable, then the future is used? If the present condition is unlikely or not probable, then I can use the subjuntivo? So the issue is the certainty or uncertainty of the condition? John will win/John (is certain to win): Juan ganará. I hope that John will win: Espero que John gane.
I typed in a simple question: HOW TO FORM IMPERFECT SUBJUNCTIVE and received many pages with endings of imperfect subjunctive and its uses, without once being given the simple method - the stem on which to add endings. Is this anywhere explained?
Why do you use vosotros for Latin American Spanish? My understanding is that is more for Spanish in Spain. Also, why do you focus on the alternative endings for the imperfect subjunctive? It seems like it’s focusing on something that is not as common as the other endings? Can I tailor my quizzes and exercises so that it does not include these?
I'd like more examples of using Todavía no + Pretérito Indefinido = not yet as I am stuck with it. Are there other lessons available.
The lesson states that "unos" and "unas" are both correct in front of a plural feminine noun beginning with a stressed a. The RAE says it isn't (https://www.rae.es/buen-uso-espa%C3%B1ol/el-art%C3%ADculo-ante-nombres-femeninos-comenzados-por-a-t%C3%B3nica), specifically citing "unos aulas" as incorrect.
It's a minor point, but where is the disconnect? Is the RAE being prescriptive here, or is something else going on?
I have the test question: A ustedes no ________ este documental, ¿verdad? The answer is "les gusta". Why isn't it "les gustan"?
The table (and quiz questions) say “creo” is the pretérito third person singular conjugation. My conjugation app and ChatGPT say “creó”. Which is correct? If “creo” is in error, please update the table and quiz questions. Thank you!
Why is “at Christmas” “en Navidad” with no article, but “I like Christmas very much.” “Me gusta mucho LA Navidad.” with the article? When is and isn’t the article required? Same question for Nochebuena.
What does it mean to "follow the EN sentence order"?
My Google translate does the above when I query Do you like it? Is this incorrect?
