infinitive compuesto and infinitive differencethere is another chapter where "Having done something" with the action as subject or direct object of a sentence using El Infinitivo Compuesto (= haber + participle)
How does it differ from using infinitive?
Fumar es malo para la salud
Haber fumado es malo para la salud
if I were to guess, I am guessing that using el infinitive compuesto is that, the action was indeed being carried out where as using infinitive is just a general statement. the person we are warning regarding smoking is bad, did not smoke.
Whereas if the person indeed smoke, we will say haber fumado es malo para la salud
Hi. Was this marked wrong because I'm studying LA Spanish and chose "hubiesen aprobado" (used more in Spain) instead of "hubieran aprobado"? Thanks!
Ojalá ustedes ________ el examen final. I wish you had passed the final exam.(HINT: Use "ustedes" form to conjugate "aprobar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo)

Can I say "Adivino que si" or "Adivino que no"? Thanks.
The sentence "Now I want to repeat it!" is translated as ¡Ahora quiero repetir!
Why doesn't Spanish need an object pronoun here?
Gracias
Many years ago in a Mexican Spanish school I was taught that in a sentence like. No creo que Susana venga/haya venido hoy only those 2 options are correct. The imperfect and pluperfect subjunctive are only used if the verb in the main clause is in a past tense. There seems to be disagreement on this topic. What does RAE say? Is there regional variation on this topic?
Now I know that when I listen to native speakers or have to read their WhatsApp messages, I shouldn't assume that their lo / le / las usage is correct.
Not really a question but this lesson could be better if in included the three rules for plural
1# ends in vowel add s
2# ends in consonant add es
3# ends in z change to c and add es.
as far as I know this is correct
