Hola,

¡Nunca había oído la palabra 'velada' hasta ahora! Nunca sabía que había otra palabra para 'la tarde' o 'la noche'. ¿Hay una diferencia entre velada y tarde? ¿Podemos usar las dos?

Gracias

Hi, thanks for all your answers.

What does Aún así (both accented) mean in Concierto de Año Nuevo? Thanks,

Shirley. 

Just a terminology question, but why is this called "El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo" instead of "El Presente Perfecto Subjuntivo"? I thought pretérito meant past tense? (It seems to mean past tense in the context of Pretérito Indefinido and Pretérito Imperfecto.) 

I have read the answer given to Ralph.  At the very least this is a VERY bad example to give in a lesson.  The answer demonstrates that either tense could be used depending on the message the writer wishes to convey. 

I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting.  Thank you.
