El pluscuamperfecto subj. vs. condicional

When I look at these two examples from the English to the Spanish there is no clear indication of why the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is being used vs. the condicional.

Si no hubiésemos comprado esta casa, hubiésemos tenido más dinero para vacaciones.

If we hadn't bought this house, we would have had more money for holidays.

Si no hubiéramos comprado esta casa habríamos tenido más dinero para vacaciones.

If we hadn't bought this house we would have had more money for holidays.

No tendrías que

Hola,

Would the following be an example of objection using the conditional? It is in response to a character revealing what she has done.

Tú no tendrías que decir nada. No tendrías que haberle dado la pistola.

How would you translate this? Here is my attempt:

You didn't have to say anything. You didn't have to give her the gun/pistol.

Sospechar for “to know”¡________ de nuestros encuentros! I wonder what your husband would think if he knew of our encounters!Si tu marido sospechara. Hola, I can’t find a dictionary with sospechar meaning to know. Should the verb be saber? Muchas gracias, Shirley.

Acordar y acordarse.

I understand the lesson well.However, I want to ask whether one of your sentences could have been written better.', incorporating "Lo" from a previous lesson.. Su oración en español fue: Ayer, estuve pensando en cómo nos conocimos. Pues, yo no me acuerdo. ¿ lo podía ser mejor si usáramos : ...Pues, yo no lo acuerdo?

Meaning of this phraseAnda que este no sabe con quién ha ido a dar.

Does it mean “he doesn’t know who he’s dealing with?”

Thanks again

Dolor de

Hola Inma,

The sentence given was "resultados terapéuticos en el dolor de estómago, cuello, espalda y pierna." In the A2 "Everything hurts!" exercise for this week there was a sentence "También, tengo dolor de estómago y de pies," where the "de" was repeated. I rationalised this as being way of saying that I have pain from / of stomach and from / of feet. I can't understand why the "de" isn't repeated in the example above from this B1 exercise.

Can you help please

Saludos

John
