Cuando indicative vs. subjunctive for future eventFor the question:
________ del colegio tendrás que hacer tus deberes.
When you get back from school you will have to do your homework.
Cuando volverás
*Cuando hayas vuelto*
Cuando volverías
Cuando volviste
I still don't understand why "volverás" is wrong. In another Kwiziq lesson under: Learn about como, cuando, donde and quien in Spanish, one of the examples is as follows:
Hablo con ella cuando llega a casa.
I speak with her when she gets home. [specific situation]
Hablaré con ella cuando llegue a casa.
I will speak to her whenever she arrives home. [We don't know when she will arrive]
In the first case, the indicative is used even for a future event (ie. the event isn't until she comes home). Why is future then note used for "cuando hayas vuelto"?
Thank you!
No olvidemos el ejemplo de la revolución americana. Elle estuvo la prueba que se podría lograr.
Listen to the birds sing.
I put ' escuchar al canto de los pájaros'. I don't understand why this is incorrect as another option given was 'escuchar a los pájaros cantar'
I'm not sure when I can use escuchar + a
Gracias
The answer given is “han tomado”. I don’t think tomado has been covered. I thought it should be tímido. Can you please explain?
I noticed with this translation, it isn’t following the normal rule for translating “ing” congregations for verbs. Is this because they are semi-regular verbs? Thank you
I was following along fairly well on the examples in this lesson until I came to: " Mi examen de ciencias saldría muy mal," (I would fail my science exam.) Is this a common usage for salir? What about "fallar" or perhaps "reprobar"? Would they be a more common verb to use for failing at a task? As always, thanks for your help! :)
I feel like there are 2 correct answers to this question:
Es el hombre más honesto ________.
He's the most honest man I've ever met.
I think the one I choose and the one identified as correct are equally correct.
que jamás haya conocido - identified answer
jamás yo he conocido - my answer
Please explain. Thank you
In view of the "TIP" in this lesson, would the translation of the last of the examples (¿Ustedes acaban de hablar con el jefe?) be better as: HAD you just spoken to the boss? rather than; HAVE you just spoken to the boss?
I am confused why nuestras is after hijos - the noun - in this case. I’ve always been taught it’s “nuestros hijos/hijas”?
Estos niños son hijos nuestros.
These boys are our sons.Estas niñas son hijas nuestras.These girls are our daughters.________ del colegio tendrás que hacer tus deberes.
