Questions & Answers about Si la natalidad baja, no hay ningún crecimiento.
Why is 'baja' in the indicative and not the subjunctive, since 'if' expresses a hypothetical situation?
In Spanish, you never use the present subjunctive directly after si (if). Even though the condition might feel hypothetical, standard 'if' statements about realistic present or future possibilities always take the indicative. You would only use the subjunctive after si if it were a past subjunctive expressing an unlikely or impossible scenario (Si la natalidad bajara).
Why do we use 'ningún' here instead of 'ninguno'?
Is 'la natalidad' the only way to say 'birth rate'?
How would I express this same idea using the current lesson's structure with 'el hecho de que'?
