It seems to me that in many cases we could substitute the imperfect with perfect. The main difference would be that in the former we talk about a repeated activity and in the latter about whether something ever took place or a few times at the most.

Could I also say por vuestra luna de miel? In case I would like to emphasize the reason for going here, not the timeframe?

Hola,

1. Would "¿dónde habréis estado en 10 años a partir de ahora?" be acceptable?

2. Is there a lesson available on when it is best to place an adjective before a noun - I put cristalinas before aguas.

Could I say un poema muy bonito de Neruda?

Hello,

Re: These two sentences: "los profesores, los estudiantes, and: los niños y los jubilados"

In this exercise I noticed the repetitive use of “los” in the above sentences, and I would tend not to repeat these.  i.e. just say: los profesores y estudiantes.

 Is there something I’m missing?  Thank you, Nicole

When you say

"Notice that when we use this structure with tener, the participle agrees in gender and number with the object:"

aren't you really referring to using the structure with llevar?

Thanks

I got ripped by several Spanish speakers for saying that "45 es una titere" is incorrect grammar.  Because I am not fluent I could not argue the point.  Am I correct or are they?

iHola!

Could you please clarify the point:

No se marcha porque está cansado (No se marcha y la causa es que está cansado)

No se marcha porque esté cansado, sino porque se ha enfadado (Se marcha y la causa no es que está cansado)

I've come upon a sentence:

No vino porque no quisiera, sino porque no pudo (The translation says: He did not come not because he didn't want, but because he could not) 

So I wonder if it really says that somebody didn't come. I guess one "not" is missing

Regards,

Alexander

¿Porque se dice ambos, el presente perfecto (en otros textos) y el pretérito perfecto? Esto me confunde  mucho... ¡Muchas gracias!
