Is it correct to say, 'Desde cuándo haces tal cosa?'. For example, 'Desde cuándo tocas el piano?', to elicit the answer, 'desde mi infancia'.
Thanks in advance.

If you are also an elderly man? Can you use "¿Cómo estás?" when greeting Gerardo?
In the first sentence, is it possible to omit the “de” ? ie, “escoger entre todas las fiestas” ?
If so, does the nuance of the meaning change at all?
Gracias por este interesante ejercicio. Y muchísimas gracias a todos los sanitarios valientes por cuidar a nuestros amigos españoles. Estamos pensando en todos los españoles durante este momento difícil. ¡Viva siempre España!
1. I find it difficult to think in terms of the Imperfect subjunctive in examples which allude to an event in the future, e.g. "Ojalá nosotros viniésemos el año que viene"... Could we also say "Ojalá nosotros vengamos el año que viene"?
2. [A comment rather than a question]: I personally prefer the "-s-" option for constructing the Imperfect Subjunctive because there is less chance of confusing it with a future construction.
