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!

What is the responses for De donde es usted

Is is possible to explain when to use tener alittle more? I found on the internet that we use tener when talking about an abstract noun or direct object. Is that correct? If so then when do I use mide+measurement etc. ? 

HI

I used 'cuando suene la alarma' and was corrected to 'cuando suena la alarma'. I notice that an alternative could be 'cuando suene el despertador' so would my original translation, using the subjunctive with 'la alarma', be ok to use?

Many thanks

Dee

Why is it "trae" and not "está trayendo"?
