Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1Yo en tu lugar = in your shoes: a hypothesis without si; what you would do goes in the conditional. Hypothetical conditions: si + imperfect subjunctive →
- 2Seguro que + present = I'm sure…: the present sale refers to the future. Salir bien = to work out. Present tense: spelling-change verbs and other uses of the present →
