Put a coat on, Carlitos! Do YOU think it's August?
¡Ponte un abrigo, Carlitos! Ni que estuviéramos en agosto.
Why “estuviéramos” and not “estuvieras”?
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.
Condition:
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.
I am confused after getting an answer wrong in a test and then reviewing the subsequent lesson.
In a recent test, this sentence was given to complete. "No me gusto nada hacer ejercicio _____________." My answer was "después de comer," when in fact the answer was "después de comiendo."
I went back to review the lesson and the lesson states that after the preposition "de" comes the infinitive form of the verb to say the "ing" form of the verb. Now I am confused as to why my answer of "después de comer" is not correct. When do you use the infinitive? and when do you use the present participle (i.e. ending "ando" or "iendo") after the preposition de?
Magdalena = muffins? Crei que muffins se traduce como "mollette". Y por que "magdalena? Que una referencia a la santa?

Why use the verb second person plural veis instead of ven when
there are 3 persons , Carol Jorn and tu as the subjects of the sentence.?
Thank you Inma,
So does that mean that even if "siglo" is singular, you can also use the plural? i.e. "a comienzos de..."
does that mean then that you can use the singular "al comienzo de.." if "siglos" was plural?
Do you have any example sentences for these 2 uses?
Do you have any more info on this use? also is this a Peninsular Spain usage? or universally used?
Thank you. Your replies a very appreciated! Nicole
