I found this confusing.

"Hemos pedido" translates into English as "asked," which is a past tense. So I wanted to use pusiera. But the answer requires present subjunctive (ponga).

Is it always true that when the main verb is in the present perfect, the subsequent clause will use the present subjunctive? So in Spanish we should treat present perfect as a present tense, whereas in English it is a past tense?

Hi, i cannot see any transcript about this reading passage. i can just listen to it. what can be the problem?

Hello, my question is regarding the use of “les” for “you” rather than “you all”.  It makes sense to me to use “le” for the formal usted and then “les” for the formal “you all” but I was never taught to use “les” for a singular person. The example I am referring to is: 

Señor López, le entrego el paquete.

I found the sentence, ¿por qué habría de asustar un sombrero?— me respondieron. I tried looking it up and apparently haber de can be used conditionally to express confusion of a topic. i think this is important as well as haber que, i saw it in a book although i can't remember the sentence haber que is apparently also another form of obligation like tener que

under the dictation, a part of the sentence says

Y nos invitaban a todos a una ceremonia y una fiesta, en una estación de esquí la Navidad próxima. 

i understand that nos invitaban = they invited us

nos invitaban a una fiesta = they invited us to a party

but what does a todos means?

ayudame por favor

muchas gracias

Saludos

My translator offers two possible translations one of which includes las before " alegrías," los before "paseos" and las before " noches" and  another which excludes them. Do the objects have to be used here, or are there regional variations ?

¿Por qué se usa  más que en vez de más de?  15 minutos es un número...

Hi!! I would like to ask a question. So I'm doing a presentation in Spanish and i want to use the present perfect subjunctive in the last sentence. I want to say "I hope you enjoyed my presentation". The dictionary says that it's "espero que les haya gustado mi precentación", but isn't "haya" the verb form for "usted" and not "ustedes"? Several people are going to listen to me, so I want to address them all. What do I say? Is it "espero que les hayán gustado mi precentación" or "espero que les hayáis gustado mi precentación", or is it the sentence I wrote earlier?

Thank you in advance!!

Por dónde vas is the question to ask someone but what if I want to be more specific ? Por dónde vas en tu libro? How do I say where are you at for the book? Where are you at now at your book? 

I really enjoyed this passage, it even made me a little teary-eyed! The sentiment is lovely. 

I just wanted to check...

Should the first sentence be using vosotros, i.e. Me recordáis a mi abuela, porque es que brilláis con luz propia como ella.

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the rest of the passage  referring to two people? 

Gracias de antemano 😊
