I think this also translates correctly;

Adorno el árbol de Navidad para que todos admirarlo mañana.

as an alternative to

Adorno el árbol de Navidad para que todos lo admiren mañana.

Two correct answers as choices in the original question unless hinted to use subjunctive

Hola,

I've seen this pattern and just learned it by rote, but I'm wondering why when I see venir and salir, and probably others I can't recall right now, the preposition follows the verb?

Usted normalmente sale a comer a las dos. (You usually go out to eat at two o'clock.)

Why isn't it sale comer a las dos, or Vienen nadar todos los domingos? 

I guess some rule has bypassed me at some point? What I'm most concerned is that past venir and salir, I'm going to get it wrong with other verbs.

Muchas gracias,

The question was :  How would you say "If you did some exercise, you would lose weight faster." ?  I understand the principle of using the subjunctive followed by the conditional simple.  I don't understand why there are 2 answers.

Si hicieras más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Si hicieses más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Becky

I once heard that in saying "Estoy casada," there is a subtle suggestion that one is not quite as bound by the marriage than if one had said "Soy casada." Any truth to that?

vuelvo vs. volviendo    i thought iendo=ing     when the chicos vuelvan... they return.   isn't 'are returning' estan volviendo???

I would like to ask how they are related and if one can be used instead of the other one

"Cómo ________ usted el cambio? ¿en monedas o billetes?

How would you like your change? In coins or notes?

querría

quiso

quieres

quisiera

se gustaría

querrá" 

Why would "se gustaría" be incorrect here? 

In an A1 writing exercise about ordering at a restaurant, I encountered the phrase "How can I help you?" with the hint "Lit. What do you wish?" I was not prepared with an answer so I learned a new phrase!

Are the phrases interchangeable? 

Thank you,

Allysen
