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

Una pregunta....

En este frase, no entiendo por que es "Si usted hubiera venido antes, yo le atendería" y no "Si usted hubiera venido antes, yo le habria atendido". No entiendo por que la tradución en ingles es I would have served you y no I would serve you.... Help!

I learned naranja as the fruit and anaranjado/a as the color

I learned naranja as the fruit and anaranjado/a as the color. Obviously language can be used differently throughout the Spanish-speaking communities! Is that the case here?

If I am 70 and my neighbour is 50, why can´t I use tú instead of usted?
