En este podcast hablo acerca de mi visita como turista por primera vez a Venecia, lo que significa para una colombiana de 20 años estar en una ciudad con tanto arte e historia, cuantas cosas se pueden descubrir; tambièn el hecho de que por primera vez pobrè dos cosas muy italianas: el "gelato" y la pizza italiana. De que manera cada vez que voy a esa ciudad es diferente, hay detalles que no se repiten y siempre hay algo nuevo por conocer, sobretodo si vas en diferentes estaciones del año. A nivel gramatical uso de los modos del indicativo simples y compuestos: presente, pretèrito perfecto, imperfecto e indefinido; pluscuamperfecto, futuro simple; subjuntivo.

Understanding Concessive Clauses in Spanish and English

In Spanish, the mood (indicative or subjunctive) in concessive clauses depends on whether the action is factual, non-factual, or counterfactual. For example, the conjunction "aunque" (although) can be used with both indicative and subjunctive moods depending on the context.
Example in Spanish:
Indicative: "Vendré aunque no tengo ganas." (I will come even though I don't feel like it.)
Subjunctive: "Vendré aunque no tenga ganas." (I will come even if I don't feel like it.)
In English, concessive clauses typically use the indicative mood. The conjunctions "although," "even though," and "though" are commonly used, and they don't change the mood of the verb.
Example in English:
"Although he doesn't want to, he will come."
"Even though she is tired, she will finish the work."
So, while Spanish requires a choice between indicative and subjunctive based on the nature of the action, English consistently uses the indicative mood in concessive clauses.
