I understand what generally triggers the subjunctive....

But in this specific example of the Preterito Perfecto Subjuntivo....

Cuando hayas hecho tus deberes puedes ir a jugar fuera.

Is it incorrect to also use.....

Cuando has hecho tus deberes puedes ir a jugar fuera.

Just curious if they are interchangeable in their use. Thank you.

Acabo de vs recién

I put "Acabo de comprar un apartamento " and that was not shown as a possible answer for "I just bought an apartment " but I believe it is correct.

"Que" en lugar de "porque"Do Spaniards use this because it's quicker and 'neater' to say? So that they can get their meaning across even more rapidly!!

Hola,

The question was ¿Vas _casa de Inéz? Both "para" and "a" were given as correct answers but in the lesson above, the use of "a" is given as also acceptable when associated with the verb "Llevar." I would have used "a" instinctively when talking about a destination but was put off using this because of the instruction.

I think there is something about "destination" that I am not understanding. Can you help?

Saludos

John

El smoking es tan elegante como el frac.

I find this example strange, can you check the audio to ensure it matches? I am having trouble with "smoking" how would that be pronounced? Ess-mo-keng? I guess this word is just throwing me for a loop

No tengo or No lo tengo

I thought that ' el billete de tren' had a determiner - 'el' as opposed to the general 'un billete de tren'. Please explain

el que vs el cual? vs quien?

I'm a bit confused by this example. Why is it "al que"? Could it be "al cual"? Thanks for your help!

Thanks - I think a light bulb went on for me!For months, in Costa Rica, I drove by a handwritten sign on the road that read "se chopean quintas". I knew what it meant - that he was advertising that he cut or weeded yards or fields but I couldn't understand the construction of the plural 3rd person chopear ( or maybe chapear?). Now, I think I get it, because quintas is plural so should chopear be plural. Correct? Thanks again
