When I read into this, I found it a little confusing, we would actually say, he was meeting the lawyer tomorrow, to mean, He is meeting the lawyer tomorrow. 

I think we say it as it was a decision taken before the present or the future. So for once a literal translation would work?

Hi,

The above sentence seems to satisfy the requirements for sino: the first part is negative and the second part is a substitution.

Can you please explain why is requires pero and not sino.

Gracias y saludos.

Colin

may i check if both situations mean the same thing?

I will speak to her when she gets home.

because i do not know when will she get home so i will use subjunctive.

How about if i DO know when she will get home and i am referring to the future time when she gets home, say maybe 9pm, is this still using subjunctive? although i do know the time, we are speaking of a non general situation that is happening in the future. Does this trigger the subjunctive too?

Thanks

Kevin

Thanks!

I missed “que” in my comment below. Shirley. 

What is the exact wording of the audio for the following sentences? I can´t work out what is being said at the end of each of the sentences.
Un euro está a 0.88 libras.   El dólar estaba a 0.75 libras.  La libra estará a 1.14 euros.

Would it be possible to create a lesson on how to say different kinds of money - For example, dollars and cents, euro and cents, pounds and pennies, and any other major currencies?
Kind regards, Ellen

Hola Inma, 

Is there a reason why the construction “llegar a conocerse” doesn’t work in this context?

I felt that the text “get to know each other” required something that would capture the process over time [llegar a], rather than simply the reflexive verb [conocerse], or is it simpler than that? Saludos. John

This topic requires a better explanation.  There is a question where one person talks about the condition of another’s car.  Both speaker and listener know the car’s condition.  According to my reading of the lesson (perhaps mistaken), this means the subjunctive is used.  So, I chose funcione but funciona was the correct choice.  So, doubt or uncertainty does not seem to be the deciding factor when considering the use of the subjunctive after aunque.  Thanks.
