Hi Chavo.

That question, when to use in Si, clauses, the indicative plus future, vs the imperfect subjunctive plus conditional, and to ensure pairing them correctly, has been exactly our class topic last week, and our test and quiz topics this week (next week, the results)

Take the following with a grain of salt, since I think I am coming from a lower level than you. I'm only commenting on it because it is exactly what we've been doing.

In fact, I wish we had more such practice. We do ToNS of repteition on each of those two cases individually, but not enough where they're mixed together in the same exercise and we have to choose which. The result is that we're pretty good and forming the syntax correctly when we already know which to do, but not that great at choosing which to do when it's not already set out in isolation for us. I'd kill for more exercises to practice that.

Anyway, besides the contraction "al" and stuff that Kiwi mentioned, I think I see one more.

Your podría should maybe be pudiera (imperfect subjunctive introducing hypothesis followed by the conditional -- right now you have conditional followed by conditional.)

Thanks for putting these up there. I always enjoy this site, but especially when I find I´m learning something in parallel with someone else and we can help one another.

Do you have sources for more such exercises (yes, I´m a total geek for this stuff)

Gracias y buena suerte.

good catches Kiwi. I don´t get the 3rd one though. Seems right. If you were naked-ragged before the pope... what would you do? - rogspax, Nov 15, 2013
By the way, plugging that one into the translator is illuminating. Quite a variance between outputs. - rogspax, Nov 15, 2013
I think you could translate it as, if you stripped off naked :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 15, 2013
