What's difference between 2 words in term of meaning and usage?
Is it correct to say, 'Desde cuándo haces tal cosa?'. For example, 'Desde cuándo tocas el piano?', to elicit the answer, 'desde mi infancia'.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have had a lot of difficulty distinguishing between choosing whether a verb is in the imperative or subjunctive in some complex sentences.
Is there a clear way to determine this?
For example, I'm not sure which of the 3 categories in the lesson, this sentence I came across and failed to identify as subjunctive, would fall under:
"Al final será el consumidor quien pague la factura."
I would have used the present or imperative here more so. (Would it be possible?)
Thank you,
Nicole
Hola,
This lesson seems very similar to continuar/seguir+[gerund] to me. Any particular differences in nuance between the two that we should look out for?
Gracias
Is it possible to omit "Las" or use "unas" instead? Thank you.
Hi Inma,
Here's the test question:
¿Vienes a la Fiesta? No puedo. _____el partido en la tele.(Are you coming to the party? I can't. I am planning to watch the match on TV.)
Answer: Iba a ver.
Everytime this question comes up, I get it wrong because the English translation " I am planning to watch the team on T.V." Hence I answer iré a ver.
Would the english translation rather be " I was planning to watch the team on T.V.
Another question. Is there a difference between iré a ver VERSUS voy a ver? I am aware one is future tense and the other is present tense.
Thank you.
Hi, In the last sentence, could you replace tal vez etc with a lo mejor, and if so, would this then take the indicative or still the subjunctive?
Many thanks
Dee
At the other hand there are no examples for "por.
Can "por" also be interpreted as "by"
For example ¿Comó se llama usted?
wouldn't that translate to "What do you call yourself you?" How come you can't just say ¿Comó se llama?
