Spanish language Q&A Forum

Inma's answer below on time clauses and manner clauses got my attention and I looked at other web sites to learn about the types of adverbial clauses.  This is a rich topic with lots to explore.  It would be great if you could do a lesson on Kwiziq on  the types of adverbial clauses.

Que se cultiva mucho además de la soja?

I assume in the example above salir, the infinitive is not used with después because después is being used as adjective not as a proposition? 

Why is estaba used in the sentence-

Después del baño, estaba muy calmado y feliz. 

Why not era. Is it because describing feeling in the past? 

It it not constructive for my learning, that I get wrong answers in my tests, when I use European Spanish, because  the tests sometimes use European and sometimes Latin American. It is confusing. And from a learning perspective not efficient

Some examples use the verb “estar”.  But can we ever use “ser”?  Ex:  “Mis primos fueron aburridos hasta que viajaron a españa.”  Thanks.

I don't understand the significance of !Qué bárbaro! in the second paragraph. It seems out of place in relation to the description of the dessert, but I'm sure I don't fully understand its meaning. According to my dictionary, it translates to "how barbaric" --- but why would it be characterized in that manner?

El médico quiere que me tome estas pastillas.

Voy a pedirle que me lleve a su casa.

Is the rule for the position of the Me in both sentences that there are two clauses, the second being subjunctive and the verb reflexive therefore owning the M1e? I was confused because both the first and second verbs are conjugated.

Hola Inma,

You write:

---------

With "acordarse" we can't use "lo". You can use it with "recordar" though:

Yo no lo recuerdo. 

With acordarse you can say: 

Yo no me acuerdo de eso.

--------

Is the following incorrect:

Yo no me lo acuerdo. 

“but another one with that voice”.
