If I understand this right, this conditional tense can be used both for what was possible/probable in the past as well as for what could be/would be for the future?
I am used to seeing this tense in sentences such as
¿Podría llamarme mañana?
Could you call me tomorrow?/ Would you be able to call me tomorrow?
So, is it incorrect to say - Debo comer- Is the use of deber covered in other lessons?
Thanks
In your example and in Spanish grammar is the “a ella” repetition of the indirect object “le” essential or is it an optional extention added for the sake of clarity?
Let's see when you find a good job! -- I think that this could be answered with either form of cuando/cuándo depending on context:
Let's see (at what point in time - cuádo) you find a good job.
Let's see (when (if) you find a good job - cuando)
I chose the latter and was marked wrong.
I know for "¡Ni loca te presto dinero!" if you want to use "ni que fuera" it goes: "Ni que fuera loca. . . " but what do you replace "presto" with? i.e. "Ni que fuera loca te ___ dinero."
