Hola! Gracias por ese punto de gramática. Tenía una pregunta sobre ese tema. Porque decimos ''vete'' (go away!) en lugar de ''vate''? Porque la tercera persona del singular al presente del indicativo es ''él/ella va''. Porque utilizamos el presente del subjuntivo aquí? Gracias :-)
In the last sentence, why was it not appropriate to use "cualquiera" for the word "any"?
Thank you

Why can I say un hombre entusiasmado ( gender agrees) but have to say un hombre entusiasta ( adjective always feminine ) ?
Gracias
This below in the lesson could be this month or could be future. It is a bit confusing, why is the above wrong to be in the present, if it uses the same structure as the below?
Este mes tengo mucho trabajo.I have/am having a lot of work this month.Here, the speaker could be referring to the current month which they are still in, or they could be referring to this "coming" month
Hi,
I don't understand why "estar" is in subjuntivo instead of indicativo.
Regardless of gender, would you always use un when talking of self? For instance, Soy un cocinera mala.
There are a number of good questions below about the use of the preterite vs the imperfect. There is some confusion about the speaker choosing to bend the rules in order to express an action in a certain way. This is a very useful topic and might be a good lesson of its own, "When the speaker bends the rules for a specific reason".
All the words are based on conserve rather than Conversar. Is this correct or am I missing something? Thank you very much!
