It appears you have so many more prompts with “no... todavía” than with “todavía no.” Does that mean in real life “no... todavía” is more common? Most people use it?

Please make the change suggested by John

Hi, the article makes no reference to “me recuerda” without either an “a” or a “que”, but several of the questions require this answer. John suggested a year ago that the article account for this situation:

“For the sake of completeness I would make a small change.

Something “reminds me of” OR “is similar to”: Do not omit the “a” [from Recordar + a]

Something “is brought to mind”: Omit the “a” [from Recordar + a].

Something reminds me that: Use Recordar + que”

If John is correct, could you please make this change because as it stands the article seems incomplete. Thanks!

English sounds clumsy________ este cuadro en el dormitorio grande. Let's hang this picture on the big bedroom.
Hi, “on the big bedroom” doesn’t make sense in English. “In the big bedroom” makes sense and/or “on the wall in the big bedroom”. Shirley.

Use of Cuando with subjunctive and Present/Future IndicativeBoth of these sentences are talking about a future event so the present subjunctive is used after cuando. The second clause in one is future indicative and the other is present indicative. What is the difference? Is the difference the close future (go to the store today) vs. the distant future (be a doctor in ten years)? Or the probabilility of occuring more the issue as to which to use present indicative or future indicative.

Cuando sea mayor, seré médico.When I am older, I will be a doctor.Cuando vayas al mercado compra fruta y verdura.When you go to the market, buy fruit and vegetables.

Also, when the subjunctive is used is it always part of the cuando clause?

still not getting the clue.

I can't seem to get it right.

No me queda mucho dinero ________ tengo para dos cervezas más.

How come this should be 'pero'. I thought it was a substitute. First clause is negative and replaced by another, positive clause, hence I thought 'sino que'. Can one please point me to the critical part that would make me understand the difference? I feel so dumb.

Thank you in advance!

Can the speaker use ojalá for himself?

Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨

or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨

Thanks.
