I understand what generally triggers the subjunctive....

But in this specific example of the Preterito Perfecto Subjuntivo....

Cuando hayas hecho tus deberes puedes ir a jugar fuera.

Is it incorrect to also use.....

Cuando has hecho tus deberes puedes ir a jugar fuera.

Just curious if they are interchangeable in their use. Thank you.

Why is the verb 'Ver' most often left out of these type of lists for forming the imperative of tú for irregular verbs?As in '¡Ve el desorden!', or 'see the mess'.

Should this be fueron? Or am I missing something?

i continue to have difficulty lay with pretérito vs imperfecto. In the sentence She sang in a rock band in high school, why is it ella cantaba ella cantó? I understand it is a repeated action in the past, however it is also during a specific time frame ( high school), which has been completed. Este me cuesta mucho. Por favor, ayúdame. Gracias

Demasiado or tanto

A question in a quiz asked No es bueno beber ___________ alcohol. The answer was tanto but I chose demasiado. don't they both essentially mean the same thing? Or is there a distinction in Spanish? Thanks

There are several things that are confusing about this lesson - the terms and meanings. You use both pretérito perfecto (once)

and pretérito perfecto compuesto (twice) in the same lesson for the same verb form. Is it possible to use just one.

Also, in my experience, ha invitado has usually been translated as has invited rather than invited/ ha visto as has seen rather than saw. So, I would then translate había visto as had seen. This is very confusing. Help. K
