2.-Aunque llueve iremos al cine.

Warning! This sentence is not incorrect at all -it is simply different from the one you probably had in mind. I won't spoil your game, though.

Hi Miguel, Lazarus and Fregory,

I would like to ask a question about the sentence "2.-Aunque llueve iremos al cine."

a) 2.-Aunque llueve iremos al cine. = it is raining, but we're going to the cinema. (= it is raining as we speak)

b) 2.-Aunque llueva iremos al cine. = even if it rains, we'll be going to the cinema (= it's probably not raining now, but it looks like it might, and even in that case we'll be going to the cinema)

Right?

I would like to try sentence 3.

"Yo que tú, voy al psicólogo"

I'm understanding "If I were you, I am going to a psychologist" which should be "If I were you, I would go to a psychologist".

The word "voy" is incorrect in this sentence. I'm going to guess the conditional tense of ir.

"Yo que tú, iría al psicólogo".

Feedback is appreciated!

Hi lazarus and fregory,

The sentence is correct. :o) Good spot! There isn't any mistake in the sentence but it was a doble "game" as this sentence can be correct like this " Aunque llueva iremos al cine".

Cheers for your comments smile
