First, please translate the following sentences from Spanish to English:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lo mejor ma\u00f1ana llueve.<br \/>\nTal vez est\u00e9 en el trabajo.<br \/>\nPuede que sea lo mejor.<br \/>\nIgual viene Mario ma\u00f1ana.<br \/>\nQuiz\u00e1s tengas que hablar con ella.<br \/>\nLo mismo viene hoy.<br \/>\nSeguramente tengas raz\u00f3n.<br \/>\nPuede ser que vengan mis amigos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, let\u00b4s translate these sentences from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It could be that I go again.<br \/>\nMaybe we will go to that restaurant (using \u201cQuiz\u00e1s\u201d)<br \/>\nMaybe you are right (using \u201ctal vez\u201d)<br \/>\nMaybe it is true (using \u201cLo mismo\u201d)<br \/>\nIt could be that it is fun.<br \/>\nPossibly I will go to the beach tomorrow.<br \/>\nMaybe it\u00b4s cold tomorrow (using \u201cIgual\u201d)<br \/>\nMaybe it is interesting (using \u201cA lo mejor\u201d)<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Finally, I will say a few sentences expressing probability and possibility in the past in Spanish. I will repeat each twice: one time using a verb in indicative and the other in subjunctive. You should repeat the correct one. For example, if I say \u201cA lo mejor vino\u201d and \u201cA lo mejor viniera\u201d. The correct one is the first choice, as \u201cA lo mejor\u201d is an expression that always needs a verb in indicative after:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Puede ser que hay mucha gente \/ Puede ser que haya mucha gente.<br \/>\nIgual hace calor ma\u00f1ana \/ Igual haga calor ma\u00f1ana.<br \/>\nA lo mejor voy contigo \/ A lo mejor vaya contigo.<br \/>\nPuede que vamos juntos \/ Puede que vayamos juntos.<br \/>\nLo mismo es interesante \/ Lo mismo sea interesante.<br \/>\nA lo mejor podemos vernos el viernes \/ A lo mejor podamos vernos el viernes.<br \/>\nPuede ser que voy a Alemania \/ Puede ser que vaya a Alemania.<br \/>\nLo mismo busco otro trabajo \/ Lo mismo busque otro trabajo.<br \/>\nPuede que lo intento otra vez \/ Puede que lo intente otra vez.<br \/>\nIgual perdemos el partido \/ Igual perdamos el partido.<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por hoy. <\/p>\n<p>I hope this practice video lesson has been useful for you. If you are clear on how to use Spanish expressions of probability and possibility in the present tense, using them in past tense is quite simple. When you need the subjunctive, just add the past subjunctive rather than the present. <\/p>\n<p>Nos vemos pronto con m\u00e1s pr\u00e1cticas de espa\u00f1ol. \u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
