Questions & Answers about El proyecto es remoto con tal de que pagues el anticipo.
Why do we use the subjunctive 'pagues' instead of 'pagas'?
The phrase con tal de que (provided that) sets up a strict condition. Because the project being remote depends completely on this condition being met, Spanish requires the subjunctive form pagues.
Why is 'pagues' spelled with a 'gu'?
Could I use 'siempre que' or 'siempre y cuando' in this sentence instead?
Yes! You could perfectly say siempre que pagues... or siempre y cuando pagues.... All of these expressions mean 'provided that' or 'as long as,' and all of them require the subjunctive. Con tal de que often emphasizes that this is the one specific condition required.
