Where does the word "Librólogo" come from, please? Is it a play on the word Librero/a?

Hi,

The two problems with use of English posted some time ago are still not fixed.  Hence, I'm still struggling to get to grips with this lesson.

"If I went to the hairdresser's" in English means; "If I were to go".  They are equivqlent.

Similarly.  "If he had an accident"  is equivalent to " if he were  to have an accident".

In both cases, the first sentence is common usage.  The second using the the subjunctive is very uncommon in everyday English.

Hello, hope you are all well.

In this exercise the link that says (lesson) brings us here, however there is no lesson, nor any explanation as to the use of this particular phrase and another one below.  I did a search of these terms, but nothing came up.

I have two errors, that I would like to understand why they are errors to learn from them, i.e.

this one "Me hacen falta " and the one of " "aquí es la tarjeta:. (see below text)

CLIENT: I need two, one for me and one for my father. 

CLIENTA: Me hacen necesidad dos, una para mí y otra para mi padre. 

CLIENTA: Me hacen falta dos, una para mí y otra para mi padre. "

CLIENT: Here's the card. Thank you.

I looked for a comment in the exercise itself, but there was none, so I am writing this here.

Thank you for your help and stay well.

“La enciclopedia ESTÁ para vosotros”  but I got a wrong answer for writing está?

Hello. Thank you for the useful lesson. It clarified some things, but not all. I have some texts. One of them:

José у María han paseado hoy por el parque y han hablado mucho. La verdad es que ha hablado María, y José ha escuchado solamente. Cuando María ha terminado, ya era tarde y han regresado a casa. En casa, José ha recordado que quería decir muchas cosas a María, pero María ya no estaba con él.

I can understand the first two usage of PPC, the second two are less understandable. And after "Cuando" I can't understand at all. What are the units of time there? Or what other explanations? My translation is:

Jose and Maria have walked in the park today and have talked a lot. The truth is that Maria was talking (have talked), and Jose was only listening (has only listened). When Maria finished (talking), it was already late, and they returned home. At home, Jose remembered that he wanted to say many things to Maria, but Maria already wasn’t with him.

How do I explain my present continuous and simple there?

Another common idiom is "no ver la hora (de)"

¡No veo la hora! - I can't wait!

or

No veo la hora de volver a casa. - I can't wait to return home.

How many distinct classes of irregular verbs are there in the subjunctive present tense?
If it is possible to say, how many distinct irregular verbs that do not belong to a class, such as ir, are there in the subjunctive present tense?
Knowing the answers to these questions could help me form a strategy to learn them most effectively and efficiently. I would love to simplify the learning of this topic.

Thank you, James

In one of the examples, "las legumbres" is translated as "pulses". Shouldn't that be "legumes"?
