¿Dónde ________ una floristería, pro favor? To this question you have given the answer as “hay”. I have studied the lesson again but can’t agree.

The question does not enquire about the existence of a florist but the location. Therefore according to the lesson explanation the answer should be “Donde está”. Please point me to the part of the lesson I have not understood.

Han ido > [hayan ido] in a *future* senseIt was interesting to see your example: "... desde que los niños se hayan ido al colegio" as an illustration of how we can use the "Perfect" tense [i.e., the one compounded with 'haber'] - in a future context - because most of the time this tense refers to something in the [recent] past.

Reflexive verb maquillarse

I was taught to use the phrase, "maquillarse la cara". Is "maquillar su cara" natural to say in Spanish?

I wrote "voy a maquillarle la cara", and I think this is also correct.

Vosotros pudisteis caminar a la montaña. You were able to walk to the mountains.I think it should be either "a las montañas." or "to the mountain."

que mande su currículum ......

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

At around [time]: sobre or hacia?

It seems that one can use both sobre and hacia to express that "at around/around" a certain time something is happening. e.g. "I meet you at around seven".

Can they be used interchangeably in this context or is there a difference between when one would use sobre and when hacia?
