Just before vs. within

Hi Inma,

If you can skip tan solo as in the last example, how do you know whether the meaning is "just before" or "within"? For example:

A 2 minutos de empezar la película me llamó mi madre para charlar.

Couldn't this mean either that my mother called me just before the film started or that she called me just after it started?

meanings of verbs

saber--- in addition to how conjugate would be nice if you had some meanings given.

This kinda happens in uses.

to taste and know is about saber.. I guess I can use a dictionary. This is the first time I have noticed not much in the way of meaning is given. Has a very long entry in the dictionary.

This is not really a question just an observation.

why usted¿Me ________ un café por favor? (Could I have a coffee please? [lit: do you put me a coffee please?] (HINT: Conjugate the usted form of "poner" in El Presente) Is it local slang. Why is it like that.

Does this construction happen other places. If idiom maybe should be taught like that.

past and present tenses

When translating an account the past in Spanish would the english translation be in the present or past tense? Like “apagan los fuegos” is they extinguish the fires but in english we would say they extinguished the fires, right?

Language to express 'Those who'

In this text, 'those who' is translated in two different ways.. are they sinónimos?

quienes osaban visitarlo podían susurrar sus anhelos

Aquellos que se adentraban en la oscuridad del bosque

I used 'los que'. Is that always wrong?

Gracias
