The Tip that this lesson gives is surely wrong. Note that we use El Presente de Subjuntivo after que if the subjects of each clause are different. If they are the same, we don't need to use que and we need to use the infinitive form.

You can't say we don't need to use and then need to use. You can either say:

We don't need to use you may / can use the infinitive or;

We don't need to "can't" use followed by must use the infinitive.

Placement of ya

Is there any guidance at all as to which of the accepted placement options is preferred in a given situation? Is the choice totally down to the speaker? Which option is/are most commonly used?

Siempre queContrataremos al nuevo profesor siempre que tengamos presupuesto.
We will hire the new teacher as long as we have the budget. 


My boyfriend is from Mexico and he says it should be "siempre cuando", and not siempre que, he said siempre que sounds like I am saying " we will hire the new teacher always when we have the budget" and not as long as we have

hacerse(ideology) vs convertirse(radical change)I got this wrong:Mi hermana se ha convertido

 vegana por su novio. I put se ha hecho.

My sister has become a vegan for her boyfriend.
How is this different from the example given with the use of hacerse?
Example given:Se ha hecho vegetariana después de ver el documental.She became a vegetarian after watching the documentary.

Is it because he changed (radically) for his girlfriend and not his (ideology) on his own accord ?

Pronouns alternate means of assessing

Please note,  when I eliminate the pronoun to the verb   ie  yo  tiene     -   tiene, it is marked incorrectly;

also   when  the object is relating to a profession ,ie,:  Yo soy una cantera    it's marked incorrectly and sometime it is the opposite.  

Is there any reasons as to why this is the case.

En el ejemplo - A él no le importaba lo que yo hubiera dicho. He didn't care about what I had said. ¿Por qué 'hubiera dicho' y no 'había dicho?

Le as direct object pronoun

Hola Inma,

I am a bit confused as to why Le can be used as a direct object pronoun. Is this only possible in this context or are there other situations where this is correct? Is there maybe already a lesson on this topic?

Thanks,

Deborah
