It was very interesting to learn about the exams for public sector jobs in Spain. Good range of vocabulary and verb tenses. The native speaker was appropriately paced and clear for B1. Thank you for this exercise.

present indicative usage

I believe it is possible to translate the following sentence:

¿Terminas tú el trabajo que teníamos para hoy?

as: Do you want to finish the assignment that we had for today?

instead of: Are you finishing the assignment that we had for today?

If so, what is the rationale for that translation?

Después de

Hi, is there a subject change requiring the subjunctive if the subjects are I and we? Por ejemplo, I want to walk the dog after we eat. Coz technically the subjects are different but I’m still part of the group we.

Haber sido, haber estado?/ correct name of perfect tenses.

How does one determine whether to use "sido" or "estado" with haber in such instances as "I have been a good person..." or "I have been seen with ..." or "I have not been trying hard to..."?

Also, with regard to "he, has, ha....etc.", is this conjugation referred to as the present perfect indicative, the past perfect indicative (preterito perfecto), or both?

Why is the subjunctive necessary in this sentence?Aunque yo ________ lo que estás diciendo, no estoy de acuerdo contigo.Even though I understand what you are saying, I don't agree with you.(HINT: Conjugate "entender" in El Presente Subjuntivo.)The correct answer is shown as "entienda", however, it sounds like the speaker is talking about a known fact and in that case the present tense would work. Or is the rule that the verb after Aunque is always in the subjunctive?
