Hi,

What is the difference in meaning between using the imperative tense as in "Los jubilados acababan de ..." and the present tense as in "Ustedes acaban de ..."?

Thanks.

Saludos,

Contar bringing you to encontrar table is confusing me, as it shows yo encuentro instead of cuento which is the conjugation for contar

"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..?  (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

I wrote a sentence using this format for a Baselang class and my teacher (from Venezuela) said it didn’t sound right except in the context of a list of excuses. 

Por favor, la última oración usa la frase "Creo que", y yo creyó que normalmente se necesite usar el subjuntivo después esta expresión... ?porqué no es "Creo que mañana vayamos a buscar más accesorios"?

Gracias

In the phrase, ". . . y lo peor fue el viento, ya que tenía miedo . . . ," why does it use preterite (fue) and then imperfect (tenía)? Aren't they both describing the same time frame? 

This is a helpful list.  Would you be able to add the infinitive forms, as you did with the table for the form "-yendo"?
