implicaban

Question

Estoy trabajando con este phrase, y quiero decir
"Esto podía incluir los problemas que implicaban seguridad" Es correcta para decir implicaban? O no se via mejor a decir "implican" En igles quiero decir, " This could include problems involving security....."

Answer 1

I think you may need to use the subjunctive here as you are not sure whether problems of security will be involved. As I am not an expert on this subject I would go for.

Es posible que problemas de seguridad puedan resultar.
Es posible que hubieren problemas de seguridad.

Answer 2

HI:
Esto podria incluir problemas de seguridad or esto puede inplicar problemas con la seguridad.

Answer 3

Thanks Eddy,
This is the whole sentence I'm working on translating into spanish. This is what I have so far... but I was concerned about the verb tense of implicaban....maybe some context will help. Thanks in advance!

Esto podía incluir los problemas que implicaban seguridad, salarios, la supervisión, la disciplina, o el uso de las condiciones de la política y de trabajo de la compañía.

Answer 4

Hi Hlyn
If you look at Idalmis's reply above, who is a native speaker, I would go with this construction. You will notice that the subjunctive is not required and he/she has changed your imperfect tense of poder from "podía" to the conditional tense "podría"
