Can como si be followed by subjuntivo presente? Please clarify.
sin importar su origen se les llame "gallegos. Why is the the subjunctive used with llamar rather that the indicative?
Every episode of News in Slow Spanish starts with "Es jueves, ..." and so I got the answer to this wrong. So to clarify,
do we use "estar" plus a preposition to be less formal and it's correct, but more formal to use "ser" and that form doesn't take a preposition?
In the example: Estamos buscando una farmacia para comprar paracetamol.We are looking for a chemist to buy some paracetamol.Is a chemist a pharmacy or a pharmacist?
I'm trying to figure out if you need the personal a if it is just a particular person and not if it is the name of a person's job. So here, if chemist is a pharmacist, I don't use a personal a because it isn't a specific person.
OR.
If the personal a is for any person and here chemist is a pharmacy, not a pharmacist.
Thanks!

En inglés, se escribe 'indifference' ;-)
I checked to make sure it wasn't a word I didn't know in English ;)
Why did we use ustedes instead of usted ?
I can't see the difference in meaning between the English of the first and second examp;es in the lesson, so how can I decode on Indicative or Subjubctive?
Is there a way to save these lists to a notebook? This website is perfect otherwise. Thanks!
This seems like a very basic lesson, I was surprised to find this in the B1 lesson.
