Translation wrongI saw this in one of my progress tests:
Ella no cree que vosotros ________ eso por ella.She doesn't believe you did that for her.
The correct answer is "Ella no cree que vosotros hiciereis eso por ella." I understand this is the future simple subjunctive. Is the translation wrong? i.e. should it be, 'She doesn't think you will do that for her?'

Options for saying “again”In the exercise, an example said “No me cuentes de nuevo la misma historia.” Could one instead say “No me cuentes la misma historia otra vez.” and, if so, why? Any insights into why to use one or the other?

Present or Present Perfect?

Hablo inglés perfectamente desde los trece años. I speak perfect English since the age of 13. (since I was 13)

This sounds very Spanglish to me. Surely it's I have spoken perfect English since the age of 13

De versus Cuando era/eras/eran

"de joven" and "cuando eran jóvenes" are both used for "when you were young". When should "de" be used and when should "cuando era/eran/eras" be used? Thanks.

Why there is no uno like in English - he sido uno miembro (this sentence is a mistake).

Question about example sentence

Hi!

So in "Si empiezas el trabajo mañana, te tocaría archivar los expedientes a primera hora", here tocaría is a conditional, so would the correct translation not be "you would have to file" Instead of "you will have to file"? Like this: "If you start work tomorrow, you would have to file the dossiers first thing."

Thank you and have a good weekend!
