There has to be a way to make this stuff stick, and not make me fall asleep in the process. What can I do? I've my final on Monday so I need any help I can get.

How do you know which infinitives require the preposition A to link the verbs?

Can you use estar para + noun? e.g. Miguel no está para bromas

Hi, in English, "Pon la mesa." would be translated as "Set the table," not "Lay the table."

Are there 2 adverbs cuándo and cuando? WordReference.com has both listed. I need an explanation on this for A1 beginner (me).

I have a question. 

Ojalá llegaran a tiempo a la estación para coger el tren que sale esta noche a las diez. (clearly referring to the future)

Here llegaran is subjunctive because of Ojala, but why is it sale (preterite) instead of saldre (future)?

Por favor ayudarme! :)

'You probably haven't had a good breakfast'  is translated as probablemente es que no habrás desayunado bien

My question is if the 'es que' is obligatory here?

Gracias

In the example “Ellos siempre estan comiendo” why is the present progressive tense used. In my research I learned that the progressive tense is used for temporary ongoing action. The use of siempre implies that it is not temporary.
