Corregid mi español, por favor :)) - Issabela, ABR 7, 2010
If it is "esperaban", is it not "they" expected; not "it was"". (fue esperado). You could use the impersonal se. - 0074b507, ABR 7, 2010
esperaban is not completely incorrect, but quen is right, se esperaba is more like it;) - 00494d19, ABR 7, 2010

Meli, "they" is not necessary. It's redundant and usually if an English sentence is redundant, it's incorrect - one of the very few things you can rely on in English. And don't forget, "with' after "coincide." - 005faa61, ABR 7, 2010
