Hola a todos,
No hay muchas carreteras ________ conducir despacio. There are not many roads where one can drive slowly.HINT: ¿Dónde or donde?
Although the required answer here is ‘donde’, I instinctively want to write ‘donde se puede’. So it’s ok to leave out the ‘se puede’= ‘one can’ and just use the infinitive, in this instance ‘conducir’? I appreciate that this quiz is only to determine whether to use ‘donde’ or ‘dónde’ but it just read oddly to me.
Gracias :)
Yes, Clara. In this case you can omit "se puede" and the meaning is the same. "Se puede" is implicit here.
See other examples:
"¿No hay por aquí ningún sitio donde (pueda) fumar?"
"Estoy buscando una silla donde (pueda) sentarme. Estoy cansadísima."
I hope this helps.
Saludos
Inma
