I thought general experiences were talked about in the Imperfect.  The time markers given in this lesson match up with https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/learn/theme/746448.

And also this lesson seems to indicate using the Imperfect:

Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)

Hi. Why is the indirect object pronoun used in for example. “Le encanta la peli” When in English the the phrase “She loves the film” suggests the use of the Direct object pronoun.    As in the “The film delights her.”

Dijeron que nos pagarían las horas extra trabajadas cuando ________ el mes.

They said they'd pay our overtime when it was the end of the month.

terminase

terminaba

terminó

termine

I don't understand why this sentence fits this lesson. Surely there cannot be much uncertainty that there will be an end to the month. Wouldn't this make more sense in the indicative? 

I thought long and hard before answering this onr.  Although it fits the patter nor using sino que, if is a  correctionof  the first statement, the second statement is a contrast:  something practical rather than something material.  It is ambiguous depending on the circumstances and "pero" can be used following both positive and negative first statements. 

Hi all, 

This is an interesting usage that I haven't come across before. Is it only used in Spain, or elsewhere as well? Especially the last example of giving a command in a threatening tone or in no uncertain terms,- "Ya estás largándote'.. 

I know that in Chile for example, when someone is telling someone to leave, (say, at the end of an argument or unpleasant discussion, especially when they want a person to leave the room/house), it's very common to say "Ya, ¡partiste!" in the preterite.  "You left already'', hahaha, I love it!

I know 'para' usually goes in front of verbs in the infinitive form. When does 'por' go in front of verbs in the infinitive form?

What about "llegar a ser", a common way of saying become in some contexts?

Also, what about when become, unlike in all the examples above, is not to do with people? E.g. The weather is becoming cold. The situation became very serious. I think these can be more difficult to resolve than the ones about people.

What about reflexive verbs as ways of saying become, e.g. enfadarse (to become angry)?
