Meaning of this phraseAnda que este no sabe con quién ha ido a dar.

Does it mean “he doesn’t know who he’s dealing with?”

Thanks again

"the" not "they"

However e > i verbs are different as they keep the e > i change all they way through their conjugation in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

Table Formatting

The table formatting is bad so the third column can't be easily read. This problem exists in both chrome and safari.

Be more specific with explanationSpanish verbs ending in -gar replace the -g- with a -gu- in El Presente de Subjuntivo in Spanish. This is to preserve the sound from the infinitive.

Hi, a suggestion: “This is to preserve the hard G sound from the infinitive”. (The Spanish G sounds like the jota when it comes before an E or and I: G+E: gente (people), recoger (to collect), alegra (happy) G+I: digital (digital), girasol (sunflower), elegir (to choose)). 

Shirley.

Maximum "security" !

I read somewhere that it is also possible to have someone camped outside your door all night, armed with a sub-machine gun ! ... [Perhaps that would entail having an 'escape-route' available, e.g. through the window?]

Pero and sino que"Pero is a conjunction that is used in a second clause to make a contrast or make a limitation to the idea expressed in the previous clause."

Luis y yo no hemos roto ________ nos hemos dado un tiempo para pensar.

Luis and I haven't broken up but we gave each other some time to think.

I don't understand why this sentence doesn't use pero. Doesn't it make a contrast or limitation to the idea expressed in the previous clause?

En cuanto amanezca

Hola Silvia / Inma,

I came across the phrase above with a meaning of "at sunrise, first light." The word "amanezca" appears to be 1st / 3rd person subjunctive. Can you help me understand this construction please?

Saludos. John

Plural subject?

In the example sentence, “ Tengo que ir al supermercado. Me falta fruta y carne.”, should the verb be faltan, since the subject of the sentence is fruta y carne?
