There could be an element of doubt in "Piensan que"
Would you use subjunctive to translate?
They think that the missing jewels might have been stolen but they are not sure.
She might have left them at the hotel.
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
El director del colegio, quien trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
(mas informal) El director del colegio, que trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
¿Todos son correctos?
¿Cuántos euros te quedan en la cartera? -Me quedan ochenta.
How many euros do you have left in your purse? -I have eighty left.
The above is using preterite translated to present perfect. This is a subject I have some trouble understanding. Wondering if quedar is one of those examples of language that doesn't translate exactly and have to accept it as an expression used and not over think it?
I always appreciate the richness of meanings in the examples. Could you please tell me if my list is correct?
(1) Salir con alguien - go out with someone
(2) Salir con (an item of clothing) - to go out wearing something
(3) salir de un lugar - to leave a place
(4) salir a un lugar - to go out to a place
(5) something you did + salir - something turned out a certain way
(6) salir bien vestidos - to go out well dressed.
Thanks.
Why is it "*por* dónde estaremos" instead of "dónde estaremos" in the sample question?
I know what this means, as I have read elsewhere that "to conquer" in this sense means "to win over" or "to attract", but to conquer out of context is a bit middle ages! Is this still used in Spain "by the youth" or have any other phrases replaced it?
Thanks
What is the reason for this exercise being in the past perfect tense? Could it also be in the preterite?
