Why is it “mucha” not “mucho”? Is it because it modifies Coca Cola?
Hola,
Is there a reason why "mande" is preceded by "que." It appears to translate as "Anyone who wants to apply for this job, that sends his CV to the address ....... etc."
Is the "que" obligatory to trigger the subjunctive? In that case does it translate as "that he / she send?"
Thanks. John
I had wondered whether Spanish 'hay' and French 'il y a' were derived the same way - a combination of third person singular from the verb 'to have' ('ha' and 'a') and 'y'.
Is that completely wrong?
Thanks
Tom
Hola,
I think "jugo de naranja y zanahoria" should be also an accepted answer because they seem to use the word "jugo" in Latin America.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have come across this: "haber hecho" as in:
"After having done this... Después de haber hecho esto... "
and searched here for this structure and found this lesson, but not this form for "haber hecho" nor did I find anything online except one site calling it an idiom.
I was wondering what part of speech "haber hecho" is, I can't find it as a tense and have not been able to find its grammatical term. I don't think this is an "idiom". Thanks for your help in claryfing this.

Hola,
The translation is given as "You could have told me before."
My step by step translation is "You could have to me it said to me earlier / before."
Can you explain why to "to me" is repeated?
Thanks. John
Why can't I use Ustedes - 'ven'
Imna, I'm curious to know, how frequently this structure is used in Spanish? Moreover, is it more common in Spain than say in Central and/or South America?
P.S. When I first read this lesson my thoughts were similar to Alan's. I too recognized that there are similar 'past for present' verb structures in English.
Can I use it to say: we were hopinng that he would do ...?
