For each exercise I will write an explanation, I hope the teacher can correct me if the explanation is incorrect.

La respuesta es A porque es mas cercano y algo confirmado.

Try again, if don't result, in the right side of the page, has 2 link "Equivalencia tiempos inglés -español" and "Equivalencia tiempos verbales inglés-español 2". In this links you can download the pdf.
Rodrigo :
It seems to me you want to die young !!. You made a "terrible mistake".The proper way to write should have been "Try again,if it doesn't result,go to the right side of the page,there,are two links that read...." Also,"By using these links you can easily download the pdf programme."
Your teacher.
Rodrigo :
Once again thanks a zillion for supporting the grammar work after each class.Correct some mistakes"I would like to write some exercises to understand the correct use of the tenses", "For each exercise I will write an explanation" and "Can you come for dinner tomorrow afternoon ?".
Your teacher.
Rodrigo :
In class you asked me the difference between the sentences "As soon as you get your exams results,call me" (Exercise 4A,page 136,first of the right side) and "As soon as it stops raining,we'll go out" (Exercise b ,number 7,page 137).Well,on my way back home,while travelling in Transantiago,the solution came to my weary mind.In the first sentence("As soon as you get your exams results,call me"),the rule that states that present simple must be used after"when,until,as soon as..."is fully followed,but if you pay close attention to the second part,namely after the comma,there is an imperative,which sticks to the rule that tells us that we can use an imperative instead of the "will clause"(See the last rule that appears at the left of your book,exercise 4A).Now in the second sentence ("As soon as it stops raining,we will go out")you must follow the rule that states that after "when,as soon as..."the present simple must be used,but its field of action dies with the comma,so it fulfills the rule that states that a future tense is compulsory in the second part of the sentence.(Remember to see the headings at page 136,they clearly states,"first conditional sentences:if + present simple ,will/ won't + infinitive.)To make it easier,that small comma means that in the first part of the sentence there must be "If plus present simple" and in the second part "Will or won't plus infinitive". Examples:
"If I fingerlick that pineapple cake,my mother will tell me off","If I misbehave in class,I won't learn anything".Hopefully I have clarified your doubt satisfactorily.
Your teacher.
Teacher, you are very dedicate...Thank you
Aby:
Thanks for acknowledging the quality ! Now analyzing your kind words there is a small mistake.You forgot the final "d" in the adjective.You should have written "...,you are very dedicated".Another way to express the same idea is with the adjective "devoted",so you might have written "You are very devoted..." Now,when we use "devote" as a verb,we must always remember that is used followed by a verb in gerund.Examples:" Nadia is devoted to preparing a watercress and leeks salad for her best friends","Russell Crowe is devoted to improving his acting techniques","They are devoted to rereading those old war time love novels they bought some decades ago".
Your teacher.
Thanks Teacher, now i understood.
