Hi there Inma,

would you say that this structure is more formal than 'mientras' ?

Purpose:

Te regalo mi pulsera nueva con tal de que me dejes en paz.
I [will] give you my new bracelet so that you leave me alone.

Te regalo mi pulsera nueva con tal de que me dejes en paz.
I [will] give you my new bracelet as long as you leave me alone.

and pretérito perfecto compuesto (twice) in the same lesson for the same verb form. Is it possible to use just one.

Is "navidad" typically used in plural, like in this example?

Estas serán las primeras navidades sin Cristina. -These will be the first Christmas without Cristina.

Also, the translation should be "This will be..."
