CEFR C1 · Advanced
Nine lessons on the machinery advanced speakers use without thinking — the past subjunctive in all its forms, hypotheses about what never happened, and the grammar that makes an argument sound considered.
New lessons are added regularly — this list will keep growing.
Hablara / hablase — one rule builds every form, and it unlocks the rest of C1.
Start lesson → 2Si llueve / si fuera / si hubiera sido — the three types, plus mixed and alternative structures.
Start lesson → 3Hubiera hablado — regret, reproach, and the things that never happened.
Start lesson → 4The rule that picks the subjunctive for you, straight from the main clause's tense.
Start lesson → 5Habré terminado, habría ido — completed futures, and the everyday art of speculation.
Start lesson → 6Aunque, por mucho que, diga lo que diga — conceding a point and overturning it.
Start lesson → 7Quizá venga vs. quizá viene — when the subjunctive stands alone and encodes doubt.
Start lesson → 8Soñar con, contar con, insistir en — the fixed prepositions nobody can guess.
Start lesson → 9Al llegar, de haberlo sabido, terminada la reunión — compressing clauses the native way.
