I have the same question as Ryan B., below. “ In the last 2 examples, the subjects are:
Mis cortinas nuevas y las negociaciones.
Obviously, the position of the subjects is different. Is there any reason or do they have the same meaning?
Could, for example, the first 3 sentences be written as..
Secretarias con experiencia se buscan.
El periódico barato se vende aquí.
Apartamentos de lujo se venden en la playa.
?
Por fin...
Could the last two sentences be written as ..
Se han hecho mis cortinas nuevas en dos días.
Se harán las negociaciones pronto.
??

A great poem in Spanish which should be enjoyed in Spanish. While the translation gives lots of new vocab (with poetic license) the true enjoyment is in the flow of Spanish and not in the clumsiness of an English translation!
But the concept of the subjunctive is different in English and is little understood by most anglófonos. For example:
Te di el dinero para que me dejaras en paz. - In the English subjunctive form "I gave you the money so that you should leave me alone."
Whereas to use "would leave me alone" should be in the conditional: "Te di el dinero para que me dejarías en paz.
Or are the two subjunctive concepts interpreted "differently" ?
This was easy to understand because it was so slow. How do I get to listen to stories in Latin American Spanish? The only ones I have found have been in European Spanish.
