I am an Indian and live in Central India. I speak Malayalam, Hindi and English fluently and I am serious about learning Spanish. I have been learning it for six months now but I have never attended any classes. As a result, I have minimum exposure to interacting with others or speaking to native speakers. I would be glad if Spanish speakers needing a help with Hindi or English contact me. We can help each other :)

    "Gente" - usage ! "Es una gente encantadora" is translated as " They're lovely people." I read this somewhere. Why is it written so ? Is gente plural by itself and wherever it is used, even though the verb be singular, Is the meaning plural ? Can I say "Son personas encantadoras" ??? Will it have the same meaning (if correct) ?

    "There were alot of equipment in the garage,you could have picked up any tools you needed." Error : A lot of does not go well with equipment. You can change the sentence thus : " There were lots of equipments in the garage ...." "There were many equipments ...." See this website for general rules about "a lot of" http://esl.about.com/od/grammarintermediate/a/cm_lot.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Salma has not seen the movie yet,and neither i have" Error : The last part should be "have I" "Salma has not seen the movie yet and neither have I" "Neither has Salma seen the movie nor have I" Salma has not yet seen the movie and neither have I"

    Adding on to the previous answer, I could never have imagined that I would learn Chinese someday. I never imagined that I would learn Chinese someday. The sentence you wrote can be grammatically correct but that would not be something that you'd want to convey. The meaning of your sentence is that you would never imagine in future that you would be learning Chinese. That obviously is not what you meant. Right ?

    Had been and would have been both sound right to me. I am not completely sure though if there is some grammatical technicality that make them wrong. Other than that, outside UK, the more common comparative form of strict is "more strict" rather than "stricter". Also, "earlier age" sounds a little weird to me. I don't know if that is because it is incorrect or because "early age" is used much more. I have not heard many instances of earlier age before.

    Also, you will not be using it in common everyday speech unless you want to sound overly poetic or artistic :D there is also a chance that people might not understand you. However, it is beautifully written and feels good to read.

    fdmaxey has explained it nicely. Just know that when we want someone to do something, we use the subjunctive. However when we use "is" in the first sentence or "was"/"is" in the second sentence, we want to talk about permanent characteristics of that person.

    Yes, it can be used that way. "Be careful while entering the cave. Just go and pick up the lamp. You will find treasures but be sure not to touch any of them. If you do, the cave will close and you will be stuck in for eternity" You can also say, "Be careful not to do sth" or "I want you not to do sth" etc. depending on context.
