Can you give advice/commands in Spanish with the conditional form of deber/tener que?
In this lesson I see:
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
Si ellos son los responsables, deberían pagar.
If they are responsible, they should pay.
These are advice/commands.
There is also the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause [command/request/advise]".
What is the point then of this lesson?
If I am reading this correctly, you're implying that quien and quienes can also apply to things as well as people. Is that really true? It's my understanding that they can only apply to people.
¿Qué piensas?
I thought that Os was the pronoun for vosotros in this lesson so now I am confused how to use Os since it is not used in Mexico and the lesson did not explain it. I appreciate your help with this
Hi
9 Vosotros ________ solteros desde siempre. You guys have been single since always. The answer was estáis which would translate to You guys are single since always. I was looking for han estado for the answer. Have I missed something?

Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.
I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John
never mind, I see what I did wrong (i do not see a way to delete a question)
in one of the examples,
Verás, el chico se va a enfadar y va a coger y le va a dar un puñetazo.
You'll see, the guy is going to get cross and he's going to go and give him a punch.
where does 'se va + a' comes from? is this irse with other meanings?
Could you direct me to the appropriate lesson?
thanks
Estoy seguro de que cuando abriste esta tienda, no pensaste que llegaría el día en el que un cliente te daría un billete de mil dólares.
Despues de "no pensaba que" o "no pense que". Condicional o imperfecto de subjuntivo?
Shouldn't the English translation listed be "We [sit] on the bench that's furthest away." Instead of "We [are sitting] on the bench that is furthest away.
I understand that you are asking for the El Presente conjugation of sentarse in this question. I originally answered it as something like "estamos sentiando" because I saw [are sitting].
Because in another question a few below goes like "Ella [esta comiendo] en el restaurante." I understand this one is asking for Presente Progresivo/Continuo.
