Dalí diría que si el Museo del Prado se quema, él salvaría solo este cuadro.

So here, quemar is indicative. Would the subjunctive queme also be acceptable in this sentence? Or does the si prompt indicative only?

(Translation for the interested: Dalí would say that if the Prado Museum burned down, he would save only this painting.)

Why is it prefiere not prefieres?

It says ' Do you prefer to wait sitting or standing' and I had to fill in the gap for prefer/preferir.

' Usted prefiere esperar de pie o sentado?'

I don't understand how prefiere is the answer and not prefieres

Shouldn't some of these be used reflexively with sentirse?

For these three examples, wouldn't it be:

¿Tú no te sientes nada por ella?

Vosotros os sentís un gran amor por la naturaleza.

Él se siente una gran alegría.

Same meaning without “se”? María te habría prestado el dinero ________ en dos semanas. María would have lent you the money as long as you had given it back within two weeks.mientras tú se lo habrías devueltomientras que se lo hubieras devuelto. Hi, would the meaning be the same if “se” was omitted? With “se” does it actually mean “returned it to her”? Thanks, Shirley.

Wrong Translation

Mi madre no piensa que yo vaya a terminar el curso de fotografía.My mother does not think I will be able to finish the photography course.
“…vaya a terminar..” means …going to finish…” It does not mean “…be able to finish…” but, hey, I may be translating too literal?

Thank you for the text about Papamoscas.

This was a really fun exercise for me...

My daughter and I spent last Christmas in Burgos, where all my father's family and ancestors are from. Whilst there we visited the beautiful cathedral and we saw Papamoscas! He certainly is a funny little man :) You do need either good eyesight or binoculars to see him as he is really high up!
