Questions & Answers about Acabo de ver la sala y no pienso que la textura armonice.
Why is armonice in the subjunctive here?
The phrase no pienso que (I don't think that) expresses a negative opinion. In Spanish, when you state that you do not think or believe something is true, it triggers the subjunctive for the verb that follows. If the sentence were affirmative, like pienso que, you would use the indicative armoniza.
Why is it spelled armonice with a c instead of a z?
The verb is armonizar. In Spanish spelling rules, a z changes to a c when it is followed by an e. Since the present subjunctive endings for -ar verbs use an e, the z must change to a c to maintain the correct spelling, creating armonice.
I learned el salón for living room, but here it uses la sala. Are they interchangeable?
In Latin America, la sala is the standard, everyday word for the living room of a house. El salón is mainly used in Spain for a living room, while in Latin America it usually refers to a larger hall, a classroom (salón de clases), or an event space.
Why does the sentence use the present tense acabo de to mean "I just saw" in the past?
