there is a sentence in the notes where it says
'Hablo con ella cuando llega a casa. = I will speak with her when she gets home.'
Since this is a non general statement of using cuando, but a future specified situation, shouldn't we use subjuntive? there is a note on this. are is this the same thing but different point of view?
Hablo con ella cuando llegue a casa.
No ha conseguido quitarla a la misión
Los soldados salen detrás de él corriendo, pero no consiguen ver nada a causa de la oscuridad y la lluvia
No consigo olvidar nuestra conversación
i found these sentences when reading a book. this is my first time seeing how conseguir is used with another verb infinitive. may i ask for a explanation? is this usage where conseguir + infinitive carries the meaning of manage to do something (verb) similar to poder + infinitive?
I had a question on a kwiz that was marked "nearly" or "almost there"
Aquel restaurante, ________ me recomendó Alberto, tiene unos postres exquisitos.That restaurant, that Alberto recommended, has some exquisite desserts.
el cual was "correct"que was "nearly"
In the question and answer just below mine, an answer says that que and el cual are interchangable. Why was this answer not just marked correct? How do we know which one to use to get "correct" answers? Does the "nearly" count against me?
Marta y yo ________ 200 km a la semana para ir a trabajar.
Marta and I travel 200 km a week to go to work.(HINT: Conjugate "hacer" in El Presente)
Hi,
The main part of this lesson has no audio. Could you please fix this if possible?
(Aunque + the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish)
Thanks
the lesson note wrote that due to english's influence, we do use en
then it says en can be used to mean within a time period such as en una hora = in, within one hour
is this use not recommended too? if so, what is the spanish correct way of saying within an hour etc?
Hi Inma,
The last sentence should be linked to Using llevar + present participle I believe, but it has been wrongly linked to Using llevar + past participle
Saludos,

Does this construction happen other places. If idiom maybe should be taught like that.
Why isn't "las" used to modify both bicicletas and cintas de correr? I thought bicycles and treadmills were a general class of equipment, and not a specific bike or a specific treadmill. Thank you.
