This is not an English sentence, and why does the second verb take a subjunctive rather than an infinitive form?No creo que ________ todos los deberes para el lunes. I don't believe to have done all my homework by Monday.HINT: Conjugate the yo form of "hacer" in El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo

I am confused about “might”. Another test used subjunctive with: What Maria might say is not important. : Lo que María ___ no tiene importante.

Algo que vs algo de vs algo para

“Tiene algo que declarar/hacer” but “Tiene algo de comer” or sometimes “Tiene algo para comer.” How does one know which one to use when?

Perfect infinitive

Hola,

I thought assumption about the past (must have + verb) was expressed by means of DEBE (Deber in El Presented) + Infinitivo Compuesto, however the following examples refute it:

Los chicos han debido de beber bastante porque huelen a alcohol.
They boys must have drunk quite a lot as they smell of alcohol.

El tren debió de llegar sobre las cuatro y media.
The train must have arrived at about four thirty.

Could you please clarify this point, because I'm feeling a bit confused
