This mini lesson didn't address the error I had made, which was to select "si" when I should have selected "cuando."
I don't recall seeing any lessons about imperatives, negative imperatives in particular. Did I sleep through them?
Hello,
Why should you use the imperative in the conditional if the present tense suffices?
In this lesson it is taught that you have to use the imperative in the conditional if you want to give advice.
However, in the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause (present tense/future tense)" there are also sentences that give advice without using the imperative.
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
"if you want a sweetie, eat your soup". lol, to me, sweetie is sweetheart, or some other affectionate term. Sweet = caramelo.
If the construction starts with “si prefieres X....” isn’t “si preferías X...” also correct?
hi, why is this not considered subjunctive tense?
