I know that "hay" means "there is/are" but how do I say the same in the future & the past?
I find that both are the same? May someone point out the differences?Thanks
I was directed to this (very useful !) lesson - i.e., Using tener + past participle to express the completion of an action (perífrasis verbal) - from a C1 writing exercise ["Charity Kings' Parade] - to explain the structure of this sentence: "Tengo pensado llevar un paraguas". < This is actually a bit different from the examples given in the lesson, because it is not a noun which we "tenemos pensado"; instead it is the verb "llevar" … [so no noun-agreement is required? - i.e. would we still keep the participle "pensado" unchanged if we said "Tengo pensado llevar mis botas de goma"?] … Thus, it might be useful to add, to the lesson, an example along these lines, i.e., where "Tengo pensado" is followed immediately by a verb.
For the phrase: Van (Uds.) a enviar los premios a nosotros?
To answer this question negatively, would it become:
no nos vamos a enviarlos
no nos los vamos a enviarlos (does the combination of nos + los clash because of the similar sounds)
Thank you!
Is it incorrect to not use the contraction in Spanish. Whereas, in English, it is NOT incorrect to not use the contraction. For example, "do not" is as acceptable as "don't." Is "a el" acceptable, or incorrect? Thank you.
In the quiz the answer was con Uds but I chose what I knew wasn't the right answer ustedes because the Uds would be capitalized in the middle of the sentence. I'm pretty sure that's not correct either. Anyway, I don't think we need these kind of trick questions. My thought is that is a poorly created test question. That said, I'm interested if one ever capitalizes Uds in the middle of a sentence or if the capitalized Uds is standard for the abbreviation of usted and I am wrong here.
We would be delighted if you dined with us on Christmas Eve.

The correct answer is evidently #3, but I don't understand how it's being conjugated.
Question re: So as to not fall in the water.
Kwizbot para que no nos caigamos en el agua.
You para que no caernos en el agua.
You could also say: para no caernos en el agua.
Hola,
I was very curious to see that the “que” was dropped in the 2nd answer.
Could you please explain why? And why it is needed in the first sentence and would not be used in my answer.
Thank you so much!
Nicole
