Hola Inma,

Having read your reply to David I'm still a bit lost. Many of the phrases were translated in the past tense for example "We lit the fireplace" and "we sat in front of it" etc but all took the pretérito perfecto because they occurred today "Hoy". However, "We loved seeing how the firewood was consumed" was the only phrase given in the pretérito indefinido and expanded in the imperfecto.

There must be something about the phrase that calls for this construction. Can you give me a pointer?

Saludos. John

Thanks for explaining, shirley.

I am struggling to work out the semantic structure and 'rationale' of this piece: "Ni qué decir tiene que no necesitas, ni flores en el pelo, ni vestido de flamenca,..." - particularly its first four words?

I am having trouble with these.  I was thinking "con el que", "para el que", etc meant "... which"  as in 5124

and that "con lo que" and "de lo que", etc. meant "... what", as in 5125.

But then I missed some questions because I used "con el que" instead of the correct "con lo que".  Can you help me out?

Thanks

Can't most of these time markers also be used in the present tense? Does the heading mean that if the past tense is used, then it must be the Imperfect? For people like me who are easily confused, could the heading be revised to clarify?

Since this is a vocabulary listing of "Irregular verbs with a short imperative tú form" could the imperative form be added in brackets, since one can't tell the shortened versions from the verbs themselves. Just a thought. :) 

The first part of the sentence/question seems to be pronounced incorrectly in the recording.

This list is also missing the audio. Thanks! 

Can you please add the audio pronunciation :)
