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!
Por algunos dias voy de vacaciones
Por unos dias voy de vacaciones
¡gracias!
Why is the passage below la instead of lo?
¿Está viendo la última película de Almodóvar? Sí, la está viendo.
Is he watching the last Almodóvar movie? -Yes, he's watching it.
Is he watching the last Almodóvar movie? -Yes, he's watching it.Isn’t it ten simple conditional that is used to make supposition about the past?

In some of these sentences it seems that para would work just as well, for example, in the following: Por [eso/aquello de] no tener que pelar las gambas con las manos decidió pedir mejor calamares fritos.
So that he wouldn't have to peel the prawns with his hands he decided to order fried calamari.Why can’t I use para?
Alfredo ________ un mes en recuperarse de la neumonía. It took Alfredo a month to recover from pneumonia.
Choices: le demoró, le tardó, se demoró, or tardaron
I don’t understand why the correct answer is se demoró. Alfredo is the subject of the sentence and it is in the past tense so tardó or demoró should be fine. The lesson does not say not to use the indirect pronoun “le” and it also only talks about using “se” for transportation and for general things. Can you explain this to me? Thanks.
I know that we can put tú before or after the verb in questions:
“¿Tú comes mucha carne?” or “¿Comes tú mucha carne?”
Is it equally common to use either order in statements?
“Tú comes mucha carne.” or “Comes tú mucha carne.”
Thanks.
Is there a rule for when we use the article for a month? I assume that we could say:
Enero is lluvioso.
El enero es lluvioso.
El mes de enero es lluvioso.
Is there a preferred form?
Disfrutese la lluvia!

Hello, i am confused by this paragraph below: it states that this rule is relevant when there are direct or indirect pronouns in a sentence with a conjugated verb that is followed by an infinitive or a present participle but then provides an example that has a gerund after the conjugated verb and no example with a present participle. Is this an error?
¿Estás cantando tu canción favorita? Sí, la estoy cantando.Are you singing your favourite song? Yes, I am singing it.When there are direct and indirect object pronouns in a sentence with a conjugated verb that is followed by an infinitive or a present participle,
