How can this be a future idea?Bear in mind that sometimes it is difficult to know whether the speaker is using the subjunctive to convey a future idea or a shared information. Have a look again at this example:
Aunque esté nevando, voy a sacar al perro a pasear.
There are two possibilities here:
the speaker is thinking that it might snow later (but even so, nonetheless, he is taking the dog for a walk)
the speaker and the listener both know that it is snowing at that moment of speaking (but even so / nonethelesss, he is going to take the dog for a walk), so it is a background/shared information.
In this sentence, how can one say "aunque este nevando" and be speaking about the future? This seems like it would have to be an instance of shared information, right?
It seems like it would be helpful if; when there is a statement and a response, that there would be two different speakers. This would give a conversational quality to the example.
When I'm requested to answer a question including the word 'you' as in 'do you like...?' it doesn't specify whether you are asking one person or more than one. I have answered for one person and the answer has been the plural answer so it says I'm wrong.
This word seems to change all the time! I had the wrong answer so next time it came up in a question I put the answer it gave me last time and it said wrong and gave the answer as the one I chose in the first place! This has happened several times. How and why does this word change?

I noticed these uses of salir in the examples and want to double-check if they are correct.
salir=to go out
salir de un lugar=to leave a place
salir por=to leave through
salir a infinitivo=to go do an activity
salir con alguién=to go out with someone
There may be a lesson on the different meanings of salir that I don’t know about. Thanks.
“but another one with that voice”.
Hi,
I completed a test today on the above topic. The sentence included the word 'cuidálo' but I cannot find it in my dictionary or the online dictionary I use.
I assume it means to treat or take care of.
Gracias.

With body parts the possessive pronoun often is not used. E.g me duele el cuerpo. My body hurts. Why not in this text?
All the words are based on conserve rather than Conversar. Is this correct or am I missing something? Thank you very much!
