Subjunctive or conditionalHello,
I was trying to write this sentence and couldn't figure out which would be the correct way to express what I was trying to say.
English:
"I discovered a very interesting site in my search to understand the word "echar de menos" and I thought it might be interesting to you/of interest to you. "
These are the various Spanish sentences I came up, and I couldn't figure out which one to use and which one(s) are correct and why... :(
Here are my sentences:
Descubrí un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que podría ser interesante para tí.
or:
He descubrí un sitio muy interesante en mi buscando de la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que te puedas ser interesante.
or:
He descubierto un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que podría ser interesante para ti.
or:
He descubierto un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que pudieras ser interesante para ti.
Thank you for any help in clarifying this and helping me through this morass.

I have checked 2 different dictionaries for the vosotros form of liar in the present subjunctive and both say that there is no accent.
Can you explain to me when to use hace, when to use hay?
Thank u so much
I put 'en mitad de' and was marked wrong. According to your lesson on that topic they are sinónimos.
Please clarify
Gracias
If it is dependent on the speaker then how do you test students if they understand it?
After reading the recommended lesson at Spanish verbs Llevar vs Llevarse (pronominal verbs) [Lesson 9495; then look at: 'Getting along with people'] I am puzzled as to why the pronominal form of llevar was not permitted here: namely "Nos llevamos juntos tanto tiempo".
The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says
Hoy es lunes. = Today is Monday. ("Today" is singular.)
but
Son las tres de la tarde. = It's three o'clock in the afternoon. ("It" is plural.)
Why are these different?

The RAE seems to say that it is correct to have no accent on the vosotros vorms of liar and criar.

Do you mean that *ese* is used when both conditions are true or just one?
“ese, esa, esosand esas are translated as that and thoseand they all refer to:1. objects/people that are near the listener (not the speaker)
2. objects/people that are far from the speaker (medium distance)”
Are there any guidelines for the use of the phrase '' ''los demás'' versus ''los otros'' this? Many thanks
