Imperfect for present or future.

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?

alternate uses for este, esta, etc.

Can a demonstrative adjective such as "este" for example, ever be used alone to signify a person or thing?

Por ejemplo:

Ana irá a la escuela con Pedro con la condición que ESTE lleve sus libros.

Éstas vs. Estas

I am confused by when to use éstas with a tilde and when not to. And would this sentence work without using either? Just saying ...zonas de ocio sino que también permiten a la población...

Además, las zonas verdes no son consideradas exclusivamente como zonas de ocio sino que éstas también permiten a la población estudiar horticultura.

Excelente epílogo en memoria de Fernando Botero"The most Colombian of Colombian artists." I am not a Colombian native although Colombia has been my second residence for more than 15 years. I've had the pleasure of viewing Botero's works in Cartagena, Bogotá, and Medellín. Botero is as equally heralded as the personification of Colombian culture as Gabriel Garcia Márquez, both geniuses in their own right. Revisar el recuerdo de mi primera experiencia viendo el arte sumamente singular de Botero en la Plaza Botero, Medellín, frente al Museo de Antioquia, me deja con algo de melancolía al saber que perdimos una de las voces más influyentes de nuestra época. Nevertheless, thank you for giving recognition to one of Colombia's most gifted and cherished individuals through a delightful, brief biography!
