Test Question - Till

“Usted tendría que devolver los

artículos en la caja. (You would have

to return the articles at the till.)

HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El

Condicional Simple.

“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster:

till

noun (1)

\ ˈtil \

Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)

1a: a money drawer in a store or bankalso : CASH REGISTERb: a box, drawer, or tray in a receptacle (such as a cabinet or chest) used especially for valuables2a: the money contained in a tillb: a supply of especially ready money

using of que and others such as el cual, el que

From this lesson, it states that they are all interchangeable.

but i read from elsewhere such as spanishdict, it says el cual, el que etc have to be used after prepositions, and commas.

may i have a clearer explanation on when will we have to use the others, when do we have to use que only.

¿Otra posibilidad?

¿Podría ser correcto usar ambas verbos en el pretérito indefinido para decir algo diferente?

Por ejemplo "cuando vine a casa, ví el nuevo coche" en vez de "cuando venía a casa, ví el nuevo coche", para decir que lo ví inmediatamente después de que hubiera llegado (una acción cumplida, no interrumpida).

Eso me parecería lógico y algo similar sí se puede usar en inglés, pero ¿tiene sentido o es correcto en Español, o hay una forma distinta de decir algo así?

Espero que lo haya explicado suficiente claro... Muchas gracias.
