Shirley.
Why is pero used and not sino?
Could "No puedo salir hoy sino saldré mañana." be used or would this be incorrect?
Hola Inma,
These constructions have always confounded me and I have learned to accept them without being able to understand the "rationale."

¿Porque usamos la expresión, "no esté aquí", en lugar de "no estoy aquí"?
¿Qué significa la palabra, "esté", exactamente?
¿es lo tiempo presente subjuntivo? después de más investigación, Yo pienso que significa, "would not be here".

How would you say the noun "width" in spanish? I have seen the word "ancho" used as a noun for width but I thought that the word "ancho" was a adjective. Can "ancho" be used as both a noun and an adjective? I have also seen the word "anchura" used as "width", but it seems to be less common?

Can you, please, explain when the verb disfrutar needs the "de"?
2) "y hizo una salsa de guacamole muy rica": I'm not sure, but I thing it sould be e hizo, or am I wrong?
Un saludo

These statements actually aren’t disagreements at all. They are contrasts or comparisons. Disagreement with someone saying “I am X” would be replying with something like “No, you are not X.” Replying by saying “I am not X” is not disagreeing, but rather comparing yourself to the first speaker.
