One of the questions was to translate "I did not say that". I put "No dije eso" but the answer that was wanted was "no he dicho eso". Please explain

subjunctive versus future perfectIn this question: "Espero que el fotógrafo ________ bastantes fotos al final de la boda." I used "habrá hecho"... can you give a translation of the above sentence using haya hecho vs. habrá hecho? I don't really get the difference.

Translation Question

The tip translates "Todavía estoy enferma," as "I'm still poorly." Wouldn't this translate to "I'm still sick?"

"De tan poco que/como + indicative" covered twice?

Dear Inma,

What is the reason for having the part "De tanto/tan poco que/como + indicative" instead of "De tanto que/como + indicative" with "De tan poco que/como + indicative" being covered in the previous part "De tan+ adjective/adverb + que/como + indicative"?

Best regards, Janusz

La Cristiada (1926-1929)

There was no mention in the article of La Cristiada, the open persecution of the Catholic Church during that time; and of the mass tortures and executions of both Catholic religious and lay people. Perhaps an article about "Viva Cristo Rey" would be a good balance?

Looking for helpCoge un plato cualquiera.

I would translate this as "Take any dish."

Coge cualquier plato.

I would translate this exactly the same way.

Under what circumstances would one choose to use either one?

Are these words indeterminate and/or invariable and what are the meanings or other examples of indeterminate and invariable?

If I wrote:

¿Puede venir cualquiera a mi fiesta?

Can anyone come to my party? Would that be incorrect?
