Hi, In the last sentence, could you replace tal vez etc with a lo mejor, and if so, would this then take the indicative or still the subjunctive?

Many thanks

Hello!  I was always taught that "asistir" was a false cognate to "assist" (to aid/help) in English.  My understanding was that "asistir a" means "to attend," either attending an event/school, etc. or to wait on someone.  Can you please clarify whether "asistir" in fact can be used to mean "to assist"?  Thank you!

Hola Inma,

I can’t work out why whether the information is already known to the parties concerned, that the subjunctive is used [in the pretérito imperfecto].

Also why using the pretérito indefinido would indicate that the information is new information.

In other words what is the logic behind this when forming the subjunctive? I completely get the idea of a hypothetical idea requiring the subjunctive, but the aspect of whether the information is already familiar to the people concerned, is confusing me. Saludos. John

Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have? 

Hola Kwiziq team

I can't find any on-line Spanish grammar text that indicates that "que" can be used in place of "porque" to begin an explanatory clause. I assume that that usage must be very colloquial and only used when talking with friends.  Am I correct about that?

Now everywhere I look online it suggests that this should only say 'lo dejé' and not 'me lo dejé'. Why would they add 'me'? It doesn't feel like it needs it, as the 'I forgot' bit is understood by dejé, and the 'it' by lo. It isn't reflexive I don't think. 

Thanks!

I am having an extremely hard time telling the difference between "how" I feel and "what" I feel (so I know when to use "sentirse" and when not to use it.) 

Also, I don't know how to tell what is an adjective and what is a noun. There don't seem to be standard endings for adjectives.  (orgulloso, alegre, frustrado, etc.)
