Spanish language Q&A Forum

This was easy to understand because it was so slow. How do I get to listen to stories in Latin American Spanish? The only ones I have found have been in European Spanish.

I saw this verse in NVI bible. 

"y no nos dejes caer en tentación, sino libranos del maligno."

Is it correct not to use 'sino que '?

Hello.  The following example in this lesson threw me off:  "After the party we will call a taxi" (Despues de fiesta llamamos un taxi).  My question is why was the present tense ("llamamos"), and not the future tense ("llamaremos"), used here?  My guess is that the future time is very short (i.e., right after the party).  If this is correct, is there a general rule for a given time frame that would require use of the future tense?  Thank you for any clarification.

You say in the notes: 

But in the most recent exercise I did, when the question was is "ese sartén" correct, given the gender of the noun, and I said no, my answer was marked wrong. 

Is there an inconsistency somewhere?

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.

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

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.

Why is this answer not correct? It is how i translated it in my head before checking the answers.

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,
