I was always taught that you can use "me gusta el deporte" to refer to sports and it is more common to use the singular, rather than the plural. The same as in English. Is this correct?

Hasta que no

Hola,

In a Spanish show, a character says to another:

Tú no sales de aquí hasta que no me traigas a ese chico.

Which I believe roughly translates to "You are not to go out until you bring this guy to me." If that is the case, could you explain why the subordinate sentence would be negated with no. Wouldn't it be:

Tú no sales de aquí hasta que me traigas a ese chico.

Thank you for your help!

I'm not sure I understand why despierta is used here and not despierto (1st person conjugated)A veces espero a mi hija despierta hasta que llega a casa

Is it because despierta is being used as an adjective here? Thank you

Hay / Il y a

I had wondered whether Spanish 'hay' and French 'il y a' were derived the same way - a combination of third person singular from the verb 'to have' ('ha' and 'a') and 'y'.

Is that completely wrong?

Thanks

Tom

Consejo(s) - singular or plural

Consejo(s) is used twice in the exercise. At first, the impression is that this is a singular word (consejo) in Spanish where it would be plural in English (tips). But later at the end it used in the plural (consejos) for the plural. This seems confusing to me.

Subjunctive and Imperative

Hello,

I have had a lot of difficulty distinguishing between choosing whether a verb is in the imperative or subjunctive in some complex sentences.

Is there a clear way to determine this?

For example, I'm not sure which of the 3 categories in the lesson, this sentence I came across and failed to identify as subjunctive, would fall under:

"Al final será el consumidor quien pague la factura."

I would have used the present or imperative here more so. (Would it be possible?)

Thank you,

Nicole

‘Hasta’ for to a place?

As far as I can see, the text doesn’t discuss ‘hasta’ which is listed as an option in the answers but marks as wrong. My dictionary seems to have some examples where ‘hasta’ is used for movement towards a place. What is the distinction?
