really are the subjunctive cases all that important to the idea of the narrative? the tense does not matter. the thought she is processing is entirely subjunctive
and accumulative: both backward, present and forward looking. She faces a complicated decision and does not take it lightly so she considers the established
track record of the relationship, family and social pressures to marry, and whether this situation meets her needs.

I don't hear the S at the end of nuestros when the speaker says nuestroS recuerdos. Am I just failing to hear it, or is it in fact silent?

why does it show the numbers instead of spelling out the numbers?  

In the first two egs given "Tengo escritas veinte paginas de mi futura novela" y "Tienes pintadas dos habitaciones. Falta una mas para terminar", why is tener + participio used instead of Llevar + participio? Since the repetition of the action is going to continue.

Thanks.

This was great. Thanks so much to introducing me to Aguas de Marzo.

The sentence porque juega para el  Inter de Milan. Why put el before Inter de Milan.

Ojalá tuviera dos cerebros para recordar todos los usos, ja ja ja. ¡Qué verbo tan útil! Aunque tiene tantas connotaciones, es fantástico.

Gracias y saludos :)

I'm really getting concerned for Angela. She's not making good decisions bouncing from one man to another. She needs more self-respect. This is so sad and so common now. Women are so sexualized that they don't see their own value. 

Why is it strange that the man who was living off of her in Toledo isn't calling her back? Is it because he found some other woman for sex and money? I'm not getting the moral of this story. Why aren't her parents encouraging her to make better relationship decisions? Is this why she decided to forget her boyfriend? 

The question is: “_____ los formularios el bolígrafo se quedó sin tinta.”

I chose “Mientras yo llenaba” since the translation was “While I was filling out the forms, the pen ran out of ink.”

Kwizbot says that “rellenando” is also correct, and I’m not sure why. The sentence “Rellenando los formularios el bolígrafo se quedó sin tinta” sounds as though the pen was doing the filling out—there’s no other subject expressed.
