How can this be a future idea?Bear in mind that sometimes it is difficult to know whether the speaker is using the subjunctive to convey a future idea or a shared information. Have a look again at this example:
Aunque esté nevando, voy a sacar al perro a pasear.
There are two possibilities here:
the speaker is thinking that it might snow later (but even so, nonetheless, he is taking the dog for a walk)
the speaker and the listener both know that it is snowing at that moment of speaking (but even so / nonethelesss, he is going to take the dog for a walk), so it is a background/shared information.
In this sentence, how can one say "aunque este nevando" and be speaking about the future? This seems like it would have to be an instance of shared information, right?
Que inocente y romantico! Mi lo gusta! Yo espero mas!
We need to be careful while translating a very single word. About the word "cayos", if we put it in Google Translate, the translation is "key". But in context, it has a different meaning. So, there is no mistake in the word "cayos" in the text. It's a small island.

wish to learn mainland Spanish not Latin American. I keep getting marked as incorrect on this question. Then your first sentence on the help confirms for mainland Spanish my answer is correct. Please help.
Un bolígrafo también es una pluma. Si?
My quiz included the example: 'Éramos nosotros los que llamamos a la puerta.'
Why is the pronoun positioned after the conjugated verb in this case?
Hi, sorry i missed the g in “missing”. Shirley.
¡Hola! Tengo una preguntita...
Why do we use "es sabroso" here when in other exercises we've opted for "está rico/delicioso etc", which seems to be a similar idea?
¡Muchas gracias!
