I wrote "y que este año sea" instead of "y que sea un año". I asked a native speaker who said my answer was fine and that "this place just wants you to speak a certain way, you can't trust it."

Es bueno / está bien ... estudies todas las tardes

Hi,

I am also a little confused by this lesson. I accept that they must be used as written but as the former modifies an adjective and the other a verb, how does this relate to the sentence above? Do they both relate in different ways to the second part of the sentence? Also, although they have the same translation, is there any difference to a Spanish speaker?

I need to understand when to apply each so that I don't make a mistake.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

A los pocos días después

Hi, what does A mean here? Can it be omitted and still be grammatically correct?

Thanks a lot,

Imperfect Tense

May I ask why do you need to use imperfect tense for this sentence: Después de hacer el check-in, he comprado algo de ropa en la boutique porque no traía nada conmigo.

I guess if we use prétérito perfect for the whole story it should be it as well.

Wrong Translation

Mi madre no piensa que yo vaya a terminar el curso de fotografía.My mother does not think I will be able to finish the photography course.
“…vaya a terminar..” means …going to finish…” It does not mean “…be able to finish…” but, hey, I may be translating too literal?

intentar triggering subjunctive

under this section, the quiz showed a question as below.

Estoy intentando que ellos nos ________ una oportunidad.

i am not sure why does intentar trigger subjunctive.

is this because it contains uncertainty? so if im using other similar verbs such as probar or whatever scenario of trying to do something, i will need to use subjunctive?
