Spanish language Q&A Forum

One of the options for a mini kwiz question, ""Suspendió el examen, no porque ________ sino porque ese día no se sentía bien." As I understood it, no porque could be used with either subjunctive or indicative and not change the meaning. Why isn't "no porque no iba a estudiar" an option along with the other two examples (which were subjunctive).

Hi,

My focus area is Latin America. I do see that this lesson is for peninsular Spanish, but I can't seem to find the appropriate equivalent lesson for L.A. Could you direct me to the correct page for Antes de que/Despues de que for L.A. students?

Thanks,

John Nolan 

I would like to ask exactly the same question as Benhur

C'mon señoritas! This tale is wide open for at least one more chapter, maybe two.

I should’ve said  “Podía ver.. vs veía, do they mean the same thing. Gracias, Shirley. 

When should we use "Si" or "Como?"

With the sentence below, is it also ok to use Si? If not, why? Is it because Si triggers the subjunctive?

Como me ofrezcan el trabajo voy a hacer una gran fiesta.

if the main clause is in future tense, do we use subjunctive too?

Estudiaré más dúro para que mis padres me traigan al extranjero

I will study harder so that my parents will bring me overseas
