Questions & Answers about Aceptamos el contrato siempre y cuando el puesto sea remoto.
Why is sea used here instead of es?
The phrase siempre y cuando (as long as / provided that) sets up a strict condition for something else to happen. In Spanish, these strict conditional phrases always trigger the subjunctive mood because the agreement depends entirely on that specific condition being met.
What is the difference between siempre y cuando and siempre que?
Both mean "as long as" or "provided that" when followed by the subjunctive, and they are largely interchangeable. Siempre y cuando is just a slightly more emphatic way to state the condition. You could easily say siempre que el puesto sea remoto here with the exact same meaning.
Why do we use the verb ser (sea) instead of estar (esté) for a remote position? Doesn't estar cover location?
Can Aceptamos be translated as "We will accept" even though it is in the present tense?
Yes! Spanish frequently uses the present tense to talk about immediate future actions or firm decisions. Translating it as "We will accept the contract as long as..." sounds very natural in English and perfectly captures the meaning.
