I found this confusing.
"Hemos pedido" translates into English as "asked," which is a past tense. So I wanted to use pusiera. But the answer requires present subjunctive (ponga).
Is it always true that when the main verb is in the present perfect, the subsequent clause will use the present subjunctive? So in Spanish we should treat present perfect as a present tense, whereas in English it is a past tense?
RE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise
Sentence: and about 800 lollipops were produced a day.
Kwizbot: y se producían unos 800 chupachups al día.
Is there any other way this sentence could be constructed, and if so, what, and if not, why not? And what are the rules pertaining to this.
I know that Spanish is pretty flexible, where I get tangled up, is where it’s not flexible in sentence structure. i.e. what things are “verboten”? Thank you, I appreciate any help in this area.
When is one preferred over the other?
I know the -- if after a noun is doesn't make since with " which or that," then use " de que" if you intend it to be " that"
But like what about the other times?
I swear it almost seems like other than what I said above, it's interchangeable.
Thanks.
Hola,
RE: what this means: [the] when used
It talked about the use of [the] colours
I was wondering what is the meaning of the use of brackets [ ] and ( ) in these tests.
Sometimes it seems that this means that the word in brackets is used in Spanish, but if I remember correctly,
sometimes it does not mean this.
So if there is a way to find out what these means and any others, would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Also wishing you the best in this New Year to you and your team!

The hints giving in the mini quiz for this lesson are not very helpful. Correct me if I am wrong, but the verb that we need to conjugate is ir not the second verb in the infinitive. Therefore, the hint should read conjugate ir in el presente, correct?
why is No todavía hemos cenado. marked wrong
"Estoy estudiando matemáticas, lenguas y ciencias."
¿Por qué se usa la forma plural en esta lista de temas?
Hola,
As a matter of interest, what would the difference in meaning be if 'por' were substituted for 'para'.
The online translator I use says that they are the same.
Gracias.
