Spanish language Q&A Forum

I learned naranja as the fruit and anaranjado/a as the color.  Obviously language can be used differently throughout the Spanish-speaking communities! Is that the case here?

In practice, are these alternatives used to the same extent as eachother? Is there a regional tendency to use one or the other?

What is the difference between usted, vosotros and ustedes? Don't they all mean 'you'? 

Hola,

I took the full-in-the-blanks quiz "Asando Castañas" today and one of the blanks, where I should choose between El Subjunctivo Presente and El Indicativo Presente, was the following:

muchas personas se suman a ella con tal de pasar un buen rato,hasta que ______ (llega/llegue) el amanecer.

Apparently the correct answer was El Indicativo (llega not llegue), but I don't understand why. Isn't sunrise a future event that is yet to happen and therefore the sentence requires El Subjunctivo?

Thanks as always!

Deborah

Why couldn't the answer be, "Pudieras haber perdido" since it was hypothetical and you didn't actually lose your job? 

Hi Inma, I've been enjoying your lessons.

Would it be correct to say:

"No pienso ir."

as:

"No pienso que voy a ir."

Thanks.

I am confused- the present participle in English is used in both the despues de + infinitive and the gerundio.  It’s hard to differentiate between the two in English so it’s guesswork in Spanish…

This is probably an easy question, but is there a simple way to tell when "tanto...como" means "both" and when it means "the same as"?  Thanks.

How come for certain reflexive verbs we use le instead of se? For example Él le gusta la chaqueta. The jacket is pleasing to him.
