In many lessons, we're told not to use the subjunctive when we have the same subject in both clauses. Yet a few examples in this lesson don't follow this rule. Could you please help us to understand when the rule applies and when it doesn't? Thanks.
Hola Inma,
I'm struggling with this construction. I have been googling and found that saber and agradecido/a are commonly put together presumably meaning "to be grateful (for)" perhaps.
Therefore I'm stuck on the use of sé, as this is the first person "I know" and that doesn't translate because the article is about giving advice / using the imperative, but the speaker definitely says "se or sé." I thought that agradecerse was the verb leading me to write down "se agradecido" but I don't think you can use the pronominal in this way. So that may be another dead end!
Can you help me make sense of this please?

I don't understand why money would be considered an "uncountable" noun. Unless on is a gazillionaire, one can certainly count how much money one has.
Pati Ecuamiga.
Can't most of these time markers also be used in the present tense? Does the heading mean that if the past tense is used, then it must be the Imperfect? For people like me who are easily confused, could the heading be revised to clarify?
Hi!
So I used caer instead of colgar because I remembered caer being used as "to suspend" somewhere. Does it sound odd/wrong to use it like that?
Thank you!
Edit after I found the answer: Caer is INTRANSITIVE, can't use it like that. I found examples of how it works when used as "hang", but your thoughts are always appreciated!
Hola,
Solo quería avisarles que el ejercicio dictado- Nivel A2 ‘Real Fábrica de Cristales y Vidrio’ del Weekend Workout, Friday 6 Diciembre- no está disponible.
Saludos a todos:)
El ejercicio de escritura, Nivel B1 ‘Pottery in Pereruela’ tampoco está disponible.
The speaker said dió rather than dio.
Just a tad confusing although it probably happens in everyday speech.
Hola Inma,
I would have thought that estar would be used here rather than ser. On reflection I imagine that ser was used because the emphasis is on the first marriage, rather than the emotional state of the person talking.
Is that the case or ....?
Saludos

Could it ever be correct to say "Compré un nuevo ordenador nuevo" to express that it was both new to me and brand new? If not, how would you express that. This can be confusing in English as well.
Does anyone know of a good free online language exchange?
