In this case why the subjunctive "hubiera" instead of "habría"? - gayland--Smith, DIC 23, 2009
I see in an earlier reply that you say "Hubiera because it is not real his sleeping 8 hours. That is true but it is real that he wanted to sleep 8 hours. - gayland--Smith, DIC 23, 2009

alt text Mark566:

I think what DJHuero has given you is OK and should be accepted.

wouldn't it be more accurate to say "me habria gustado dormir"? Why use hubiera gustado? - mark566, DIC 23, 2009
"Hubiera" because it's not real. He did not sleep 8 hours. - 005faa61, DIC 23, 2009
