Cuando indicative vs. subjunctive for future eventFor the question:
________ del colegio tendrás que hacer tus deberes.
When you get back from school you will have to do your homework.
Cuando volverás
*Cuando hayas vuelto*
Cuando volverías
Cuando volviste
I still don't understand why "volverás" is wrong. In another Kwiziq lesson under: Learn about como, cuando, donde and quien in Spanish, one of the examples is as follows:
Hablo con ella cuando llega a casa.
I speak with her when she gets home. [specific situation]
Hablaré con ella cuando llegue a casa.
I will speak to her whenever she arrives home. [We don't know when she will arrive]
In the first case, the indicative is used even for a future event (ie. the event isn't until she comes home). Why is future then note used for "cuando hayas vuelto"?
Thank you!
Why is it not an option to say "en caso de que tengas paladar dulce"?
I feel like there are 2 correct answers to this question:
Es el hombre más honesto ________.
He's the most honest man I've ever met.
I think the one I choose and the one identified as correct are equally correct.
que jamás haya conocido - identified answer
jamás yo he conocido - my answer
Please explain. Thank you
Hola.
I don't quite understand why el condicional (como en "debería") no tiene forma de subjuntivo en español.
Isn't it right to say “No pienso que el alcalde debiera/debiese tener un salario más bajo.”?

En la frase: será colorear en un cuaderno que tenga figuras en blanco, por qué se necesita tenga en lugar de tiene?
Por favor, y veo que hay otras preguntas en este tema abajo, pero cómo deberíamos contestar de forma binario/a cuando ambas opciones son correctas? Me molesta un poco que aparece que no se puede contestar a la pregunta y conseguir una respuesta correcta. ¿No deberia una tercera alternativa - ´no importa´ o ´se depende en la región o el país´?
Why is it incorrect to say "espero que no tomen muchas fotos....."? Or, why is it only correct to use sacar in the subjunctive?
I have very recently learned about Spanish subjunctive verbs. They seem most difficult to use. Hopefully I can learn a pattern as to how to use them properly. Will anyone on this site be able to guide me?
