I found this confusing.
"Hemos pedido" translates into English as "asked," which is a past tense. So I wanted to use pusiera. But the answer requires present subjunctive (ponga).
Is it always true that when the main verb is in the present perfect, the subsequent clause will use the present subjunctive? So in Spanish we should treat present perfect as a present tense, whereas in English it is a past tense?
Does the verb "costar" always take the preposition "a" when referring to the person OR entity upon which the cost is falling? Here, "los gobiernos" are not people or favorite pets, yet the personal a is apparently indicated.
My neighbours enjoy playing music really loudly.
"with verbs like gustar"

Nowhere in there does it list "divertir"
I'm unclear on why it wasn't divierten like it would have been "disfrutan"
"Acordaos que estamos fríendo esta tortilla a fuego lento."
Shouldn't it be "de que"?
My amiga de Oaxaca pointed out that in Spain they tend to use "lo" in this expression but in Mexico it's "la." Just sayin'!
So does the future perfect of indicative adequately express the idea of “must”?
From the quiz:
Ben ________ la alarma.
Write ''Ben had been woken up by the alarm.
había sido despertado por
Could I also say, "A Ben le había despertado la alarma."?
Thank you.
Could we use "el" in this context? No possessive is used with body parts; it seemed that a constitution is a part of government, and not "owned" by it.
