Parecen que ser y estar aqui estan de intercambio.

My bad, it just wasn’t clear. Would help is the form structure in the first part would read something like: Haber (past) + estado + present participle 

And all this time, going through 1, 2 and 3, I thought the lifeguard was a girl! Inma, you need to speak a little more gruffly, please LOL

I'm having trouble answering this question because i don't understand it. kindly someone help! 

cambia el marcador temporal por uno que tenga el mismo significado en función del día en el que estás hoy. (let's say today is monday)

ejemplo)

Tomando como referencia que hoy es martes:

El lunes comí con mi familia.

→ Ayer comí con mi familia.

1. El mes pasado yo trabaj_é__ mucho.

→ 

2. Mi padre preparó la comida el sábado pasado.

→ 

3. Vosotros no salisteis de casa el domingo.

→  

4. Mis padres no durmieron la siesta anteayer.

→ 

5. Rina y yo fuimos de compras hace cuatro días.

→ 

Below is the text from the lesson explaining your options with "por si/por si acaso". All of the examples use the imperfect subjective, but the fact that was the only option wasn't really clear until I read through the comments/questions.

From the Lesson: They introduce a subordinate clause expressing a condition. They can be followed by the subjunctive or the indicative.

the lesson is simplified which is good but it would be more useful to elaborate the uses of the tense.

I had searched for “Subjunctive” and came across something entitled “It’s complicated explaining the Subjunctive”. It seemed to be what I was looking for, so I clicked on it. However, I was taken to a lesson on facíl/difícil. Can you correct the link? Basically, I’m trying to mover beyond the long list of situations requiring the mood, and understand the underlying principle(s). Somewhere I saw an article making a distinction between the informational and the intentional. Would you have any references covering this question?   Thanks very much.  John Nolan

What does this expression mean?
