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.

Meanings of oler

Taken from the examples:

OLER+NOUN—>to smell something (flowers, everything)

OLER+ADJECTIVE—>to smell a certain way( fatal, bien)

OLER A NOUN—>to smell of/like noun (chocolate, pollo quemado, perfume fresco) Google Translate puts “oléis a pollo quemado” as “you smell like burned chicken”

When would I use the gerund over the Al + infinitive construction?

Is this construction interchangeable with Al+infinitive or is there a nuance where I would choose one over the other?

Referente implicito de "las"

En este grupo de frases, ¿es que "las" significa implícitamente “las cosas”? O sea, ¿es que una frase como “vamos a arreglárnoslas para que todo vaya bien” se puede entender como “vamos a arreglarnos (las cosas) para que todo vaya bien”? ¡Gracias por la ayuda!

Mistakes Found

I noticed a few mistakes here in this lesson. In some areas, for the "tu", "ellas/ellos", and "nosotros/nosotras" forms of "acaber" there are double "ba" syllables. For example, there's "acababas" instead of "acabas", "acababan" instead of "acaban", and "acababamos" instead of "acabamos". I've double checked elsewhere to verify the correct spellings of these forms and nowhere else did I find the double "ba" syllables.

Implicit time indications

Hi, I'm wondering if you can use this construction in cases where the "future time indication" is implicit. For example:

¿Vas al concierto?

When both participants know that "the concert" is going to take place next week. If that's not incorrect, does it sound more or less natural than "¿Vas a ir al concierto?" ?

Thanks!
Alan

Estar behaving like gustar?¿________ está aburriendo esta película?

The answer appears to treat estar as a verb like gustar. It doesn´t appear as such in your list. What am I missing?
