Debe haberse retrasado

Hola Inma,

I am much more “comfortable” with the alternative “se debe haber retrasado.” Is it not counterintuitive to add the reflexive pronoun to the verb haber?

Invariably we never put anything between the two verbs when using the pretérito perfecto but in this case we do. Is there a particular explanation / logic? I must be missing something!

Saludos. John

Los zumos. Si una naranja es sana 'tonces una naranja con un platano es más sana?

Lo que dice Eva H. sobre mezclar frutas es muy cierto. Las posibilidades son ilimitadas, como el universo. Pero, todas las frutas tienen diferentes niveles de digestibilidad y mezclar una fruta ácida con una alcalina puede causar indigestión, dolorosa o no. Creo que la gente inculta ha asumido que como la "fruta" se considera ser "sana", al combinar muchas frutas los resultados serán "más sanos". Sin embargo, una macedonia de frutas suele ser la causa de un dolor de barriga y, por supuesto, que las zanahorias y las espinacas sean "saludables" también, no significa que su adición a un zumo de frutas lo mejore.

¡Por las posibilidades ilimitadas del Universo!
