Con tal de queEl banco te presta más dinero ________ un interés del 5 por ciento. The bank would lend you more money provided you pay a 5 per cent interest.
The bank WOULD lend, therefore should this not be conditional eg El banco te PRESTARÍA más dinero?

Explanation is ConfusingThis Preferir conjugation exercise says: "Notice how for all three groups, the first vowel -e- in the stem becomes -ie- except for the nosotros and vosotros forms."

Don't you mean the SECOND vowel changes to IE?

Can tele only take la in front of it even though there are masculine and feminine words for television in Spanish?

Accent on "o" after "i" is replaced with "y", third person.

Is there a rule about when the "o" at the end of the 3rd person has an accent or not? It seemed that when "y" replaces the "i", there's no accent on the "o", but that doesn't work for oyó 

EDIT: maybe only after "j" replacement is the "o" without an accent?

What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.

Why Imperfect subjunctive?Ojalá yo ________ un hijo a los 33 años. I hope I have a son by the time I'm 33.(HINT: Conjugate "tener" in El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo)For “Have a son”, why not use subjunctive? Doesn’t Imp subj mean HAD a son?Thanks
