I have a comment about the following:
-Ayer tomamos una decisión. -Habréis tomado una decisión, pero el problema surgirá de nuevo, estoy seguro.-We took a decision yesterday. -You may have taken a decision, but this problem will come up again, I am sure.I have checked a lot of resources (people I know, as well as reliable British English online resources), and the correct phrase with "decision" is "to make a decision." Thus, it should be: "We made a decision yesterday." and "You may have made a decision but ..." Thank you.

I don’t understand why my answer to this question is wrong, using the present perfect (ha trabajado). My understanding is that the present perfect can be used to describe actions that continue up to the present . May be the question to be translated should be ‘Juan has continued to work in the same company for 5 years’, then only use of the present (trabaja) would be correct. Or have I misunderstood?
how can Spanish be the second most spoken language in the world? Sure, China is probably # 1 but just the population of the U.S.A. alone at more than 400 million is greater than all the native hispanohablantes. Add in Australia, South Africa, England, Scotland and a few other countries and 2nd and 3rd place must be very close. Almost every country conducts business in English so there are a lot of English as a second language speakers. Am I missing something?
Hola Inma,
Just to say that this is a great lesson, and goes a long way to making clear something that I have found very difficult.
Thanks a million. John
