Why couldn't the answer be, "Pudieras haber perdido" since it was hypothetical and you didn't actually lose your job?
In the section about no porque you say: "if the causal subordinate clause is negative, it allows both the indicative and the subjunctive (without changing the meaning)."
A says that no porque must be used with the subjunctive according to the Cervantes Institute, and you (Inma) seem to agree with him, saying: "with no porque you use the subjunctive."
I just did a Kwiz where "no porque era" was a correct option.
So, what is going on there? Can no porque take both the subjunctive and the indicative or just the subjunctive?
Why are there 2 conjugations for El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo? Are they interchangeable? Do native speakers use both equally, or is one used much more than the other?
Could someone please clarify the vowel change from e->i on reir. It looks like it is just be dropping the e.
Thank you.
In the quiz question A veces ________ que llevamos casados 20 años. I selected the response “se me olvido” which was incorrect — but I’m not sure why, even after reviewing the lesson. I have a couple guesses, but could you help me understand why it doesn’t work?
Why is it soy cinturón verde and not estoy cinturón verde? as being a green belt wouldn't be a permanent position.
Do all of these subordinating conjunctions always require a subjunctive verb to follow?
Is it too simplistic to say that:
Sentir is followed by a Noun or que, and
Sentirse is followed by an Adjective/Adverb or como.
Now that I write it out, perhaps it's not easier to remember.
