Picasa translation?

Question

I think I understood this except, but I'd feel better if there was a translation, too.

Hi, is there any difference between using the simple future and conditional or are they interchangeable for this usage? Thanks

Hola KathrynSorry about the delay..., no, the future and the conditional are interchangeable when we use them this way.Saludos

I think it's interesting that the translation works in English if you preserve the Spanish tenses. Like is:In 1943 he met Françoise Gilot, with whom
 he would later have two children , Claude and Paloma. Three years 
later, the artist will leave Paris to settle in Antibes, where Picasso will start
 a new/different artistic phase.So we have the same or a very similar pattern in English. It's just that the narrator is switching the temporal point of reference from the narrator/author/reader's time, to some past time (here 1943).

The question was "Choose the most appropriate sentences to express a factual past action 'in literature'" and I checked "Los ministros protestaron por la incoherencia del primer ministro." because, unless I'm mistaken, the infinido expresses a factual past action in literature just well. It was marked wrong. (I also checked future and conditional and those were correct.) I know how it's meant, but I find that confusing – especially, as I don't keep in mind what particular point a specific question is about when doing the exercises.

Or maybe I'm just missing something else.
