Hi
If I want to find when someone is coming to visit would I use the subjunctive as it's an unknown e.g.
¿Cuando vayas a venir a verme?
Or would I use the indicative?
Shout-out to María Virginia for her superbly enunciated reading!
(1) Most of the adverbs on the list are used with adjectives: demasiado verdes, muy estricta, un poco cansadas, bastante ruidoso, tan rápidamente.
(2) But mucho is different as it is used with verbs: te quiere mucho, no dormí mucho. And it wouldn’t seem to work with adjectives, for example, los platanos están mucho verdes needs to be stated as muy verdes.
(3) Tanto is different again, as it functions as a direct object. No puedes comer tanto.
Are these differences important, and should we learn more about these different categories of adverbs? Thanks.

Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing . . .
In a 10-question test these was the question:
¿Por qué lo ________ ?
Why are you cursing him?
I expected the answer would be a gerund, but it was not. Why was "cursing" used and not "curse?" As in, "Why (do) you curse him?"
It was very interesting to learn about the exams for public sector jobs in Spain. Good range of vocabulary and verb tenses. The native speaker was appropriately paced and clear for B1. Thank you for this exercise.
Here the newspaper is sold cheaply.
I realize "barato" can work as an adjective or an adverb, but given its placement within the sentence used in the example, this reads to me like "The cheap newspaper is sold here," as if the expensive newspaper is sold across the street—they probably charge you just to look at the headlines!
Would it be clearer to say, "Aquí se vende barato el periódico"? Or am I mistaken in that this could only be translated as "cheaply" no matter where "barato" appears?
