Questions & Answers about Ya he encendido el micrófono, pero todavía no tiene volumen.
Why do we use both ya and todavía no in this sentence?
I remember that encender changes to enciendo in the present tense. Why isn't there an ie in encendido?
You are thinking of the present tense stem change (from e to ie). Past participles like encendido don't use those present-tense stem changes. You simply take the infinitive encender, drop the -er, and add -ido.
How would I use the lesson's grammar (volver a) to say "I have turned the microphone on again" here?
To say you did the action again using the present perfect, you apply the tense to the verb volver. The past participle of volver is irregular (vuelto). So, you would replace he encendido with he vuelto a encender (I have returned to turn on).
Could I say tiene el volumen instead of just tiene volumen?
