Hola. How do express the difference between "The students must not use a calculator" (in the examples), and "The students DON"T HAVE TO use a calculator." which has a very different meaning. Thank you! 

Hola Silvia y/o Inma, 

Please could you tell me why the preposition a is used with sobrevivir and yet not used with superar (which was given as an alternative in the hint)? I hope it's not something obvious that my old brain isn't getting, ja ja ja! 

Gracias :)

You make this construction unnecessarily complicated. The conditional is used here simply because even the future event is stated conditionally: so-and-so “would” do such-and-such. It’s a perfect parallel to the English conditional.

Está rica esta cancion. Es de pura poesía. O sea que no entiendo todas las palabras; pero siento con Clarissa la alegria de la banda y la que la cantante expresa. Esta cancion me eleva.

One of the test questions is:

"________ al colegio ha habido problemas.

Since this girl arrived at school there have been problems."

which I answered as:

"Ya que esta niña llegó",

which was marked as wrong.

Why can't I think that "Since" here has causal value, which would render my answer correct?

Hola Inma!

Es correcto o no usar SI + PRETÉRITO PLUSCUAMPERFECTO DE SUBJUNTIVO + FUTURO SIMPLE / CONDICIONAL SIMPLE como en la siguiente oración:

Si el próximo jueves no hubiera / hubiese llegado el paquete, reclamaremos / reclamaríamos a la oficina de Correos.

Gracias,

Miltcho

While it has been over a year since he submitted that question, I too share his frustration with this lesson. Can someone at Kwiziq give a little more explanation? It would super nice if someone could answer Jeffrey since that is exactly what I have been wondering. 

te recomendaría que exploraras las ruinas en la selva y disfrutar la naturaleza 

In this phrase why isn't the second verb following recomendar also a subjunctive?

Also I'm not sure why we would say tesoro español o tesoro gótico but tesoro maya is invariable

Gracias

 ha participado en numerosas producciones españolas que le han convertido en famosa

I put la han hecho famosa as the structure seems like a transitive verb but was marked wrong.

Is that because of using hacer or is it leismo

Gracias

I think you have the A1 and B1 verb lists switched for this topic.  There are 28 verbs on the A1 list, including some less common ones like hervir, invertir, negar, and tremblar.  

But then there are only 15 basic verbs on the B1 list.
