Maybe I’m wrong but I thought in English, “when” is the one that goes with pretérito indefinido because it is “when” something happens, “when” something interrupts an existing action. So I would say “I was taking a shower when the phone rang” or “when you called, I was talking to a friend.” It’s weird to me to use “when” to go with an ongoing action. I mean “when” is a point in time, right? Not an ongoing event.

The translation of the sentence is missing. Why is there hubieras after si?

Hi, just a small error. Both examples are the same.

Here, we could have used the preposition "a"with the same intention:

Re: "because I find that it's an interesting instrument."

Kwizbot  porque me parece un instrumento interesante.

You         porque me parece “que es” un instrumento interesante

Google translates the sentence in question: "Because I think it's an interesting instrument"

leaving out the "that" in the original text. 

       Would it be incorrect to have the “que es” here?  How do I find out how to work the  “magic” of

       sentence structure.  Thank you. Nicole
