In the sentence "Therefore, time should be invested...", I answered "Por lo tanto, se debería invertir el tiempo" while the given answer is "Por lo tanto, se debe invertir el tiempo". Since the English sentence shows 'should', shouldn't 'se deberia' be more appropriate than 'se bede' which would translate to 'must' rather than 'should'?

Gracias,

Use of ‘Por qué’ in this passage...

Hola a todos,

‘Da igual cuál sea tu sueño...’

If I’m correct then I understand this sentence to mean, ‘It doesn’t matter what your dream is...’ The latter part of the sentence says, ‘it can be related to your lifestyle’. It’s the part of the sentence that says, ‘...no tiene por qué estar relacionado con trabajo...’, that I’m struggling with. I think I’m right to understand that it means, ‘it doesn’t have to be related with/to work’. I’m just not grasping the use of ‘por que’ here? Please could you explain it to me?

Many thanks

Clara :)

Question of subject pronoun usage

I am often unsure as to when a subject pronoun is necessary, as I recall lessons that indicate the subject/person is known by the verb. So, my question is, please help me to understand why the subject pronoun "vosotros" is included in the above example, "¿Teníais vosotros las llaves del coche?

Gracias,

Pati E.

Who is the verb referring to?I had a quiz "Yo haré lo que usted me ___", I wrote encarquES which is the wrong answer, and correct one should be encarquE. I'm confused because normal sense should be "you order".
