I was just wondering about this today, how to tell when to use the subjunctive or the future. Both have this element of uncertainly - to a certain degree - haven't happened as yet and both deal with maybes, etc. The future is never really set in stone.

For example : I will go out when the sun shines. I think that in Spanish this could be said in either future or subjunctive, i.e.:

Saldré cuando brille el sol.

Saldré cuando brillará el sol.

Can you help me better understand this.

Thank you.

Link with the "must have done" with the verb deber?

Could I suggest adding a link to the aforementioned lesson so that that it's a little easier to see them difference between must have and should have?

using "ni que fuera"

I know for "¡Ni loca te presto dinero!" if you want to use "ni que fuera" it goes: "Ni que fuera loca. . . " but what do you replace "presto" with? i.e. "Ni que fuera loca te ___ dinero."

Demasiado or tanto

A question in a quiz asked No es bueno beber ___________ alcohol. The answer was tanto but I chose demasiado. don't they both essentially mean the same thing? Or is there a distinction in Spanish? Thanks
