I have a question about the sentence: "Le dare el dinero que le debo por si acaso se me olivida despues." If I understand, this sentence expresses the idea that the speaker feels that it is fairly likely that they will forget. If they thought that it was unlikely that they would forget, then the conditional clause would say "..se me olvidara". So myy question is: What if the main clause were in el preterito indefinido (Le di el dinero...)? Would the conditional clause still need to be "...se me olvidara"? If the speaker considers the condition in the subordinate clause to be less probable, the conditional clause would use the imperfecto do subjunctivo (...se me olividara) whether the main clause refers to a future action or a past action? Is this correct?Sorry, I don't know how to type accents.
Could a correct translation option also be "En la madrugada"?
I was going to paint my bed last week?
This lesson still applies or Preterite should be used? It was planned for the last week. Or now it depends on which time frame we use?

How do we get lessons to clear from our listing. I seem to do the lesson, get both test questions correct, but the lesson stays in my list.'
Thanks.
This left me somewhat down hearted. I thought I was further along than my terrible score! I guess I'll keep trying in the hopes I won't do this bad in the future. :(
I would love a set of quizzes that drill me on all the tenses for difficult irregular verbs, such as seguir, proteger, sentir, dormer....
For those that might be interested...
The adaptation of the famous novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' (Cien Años de Soledad) by Gabriel García Márquez has finally arrived on Netflix!
Another Spanish film that I found very interesting is 'The Red Virgin' (La Virgen Roja) depicting the life of the famous Spanish writer Hildegart Rodríguez. This film is on Amazon Prime.
Both great films for practising our listening skills. 😀
¿Cómo se traduce esta frase en negativo?: Pienso que el alcalde debería tener un salario más bajo.
No pienso que el alcalde ???
