I don’t understand the use of present perfect in telling past events. 

Hi,

I was wondering why this sentence uses the indicativo in the si-clause:

"me dijo que si la regaba y crecía como una planta, tendría un perro"

Isn't the mom seeing this condition as something not at all likely to happen? Does not the use of the conditional in the main clause also indicate that it is less likely and therefore require the subjunctivo?

Thanks!

Deborah

I think it would also be helpful to have examples with the conjugates that still have 'z', so that we know how it sounds and how to pronounce it correctly.

It is not clear when to use qué after mismo. For e.g.

Andrea lleva la misma camisa que llevaba ayer.

Vs.

No me cuentes de nuevo la misma historia.
