I understand that when "tal vez" and "quizas" are used, they can be followed by either subjunctive or indicative mood. But "a lo mejor" only accepts indicative mood. And, since "tal vez", "quizas", and "a lo mejor" can all be translated as "maybe" in English, this creates some confusion for English speakers. My question is this: even though they are all tranlated as "maybe" in english, does the phrase "a lo mejor" convey less doubt/uncertainty than "tal vez/quizas" in spanish?
Hola Inma,
my answer was: no te olvides de que la mejor mezcla es ...
but the "de" was marked wrong and deleted.
According to the lesson, when using the reflexive form olvidarse, we need to use the preposition "de". Does this not apply when it comes to imperative?
Muchas gracias

I am getting thoroughly confused. What is the difference between the two ?
I know the preterite and the present perfect. Never heard of preterito indefinido
From what I understand, statements of emotion almost always trigger the subjunctive. Are there exceptions for past events with cuando? "I was happy that he came" gives imperfect subjunctive whereas "I was happy when he came" gives preterite.
If this is a rule, is it more general than cuando?
In the text above, it says, 'no parará de reír.'
But in the exercise it was corrected to 'reirse'
Which is correct?
Why does "la" translate to "your" and not "the" In English? Example "quítate la ropa" translates to "take off your clothes" but "la ropa" translates to "the clothes" so why isn't there "the"?
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!
I think Alfredo got trapped! He only proposed after Susana got pregnant . . .
