In the answer, the first sentence is future tense, but the second sentence is conditional tense?  What is going on?  Why are not both these sentences either future or conditional?  

I don't get it

I am confused- the present participle in English is used in both the despues de + infinitive and the gerundio.  It’s hard to differentiate between the two in English so it’s guesswork in Spanish…

I came across this phrase whilst reading and suspect it means we make a good team? I think it's Cuban Spanish

La narradora dice “las pilas” pero el texto dice “la pilas”, y el programa te corrige si escribes “las pilas” en tu transcripción. Me gusta esta expresión que no conocía antes. Creo que ya la entiendo, pero tal vez merezca una pequeña nota. ¡Gracias!

I like the example Ellas trabajaron hasta tarde ayer because it is more clear than They worked late yesterday. Is it incorrect to say Ellas trabajaron tarde ayer (without "hasta")?

As an aside, I would never write "They worked late yesterday," because the tonal emphasis given to "late" and "yesterday" conveys subtle differences of meaning. 

Hello,

I was confused as to why it's (y voy a salir de casa temprano) and not (y voy a salir la casa temprano)

Why are these two sentences different? One uses "para comprar" and the other just "comprar." I want to understand the rule that allows you to omit "para" before an infinitive.

1. Le costó 5 dólares comprarlo de nuevo.

2. Él necesita 5 dólares para comprarlo.
