Help with sentence order.

Question

Hey, I was trying to write "I think it's better that children have a good relationship with each other"

I was unsure of the pronoun I needed to use nos, os or se. Considering it's plural I went for se.

But, I was unsure of where to place it within the sentence, and also could you tell me if the sentence is also corrent.

*Creo es mejor que los hijos tienen una buena relación.."

Would the "se" come before tienen?

Please help, would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I would say it this way:

Creo que es mejor que los niños tengan una buena relación entre ellos mismos.

Thank you :) Much appreciated. - IsabelTenerife09, Apr 10, 2010

Answer 2

Creo que...es mejor que...

You omitted a necessary "que".

If I understand your question correctly you are trying to use the reciprocal meaning of the pronominal verb.

...se tienen (uno a otra) (they have for each other) (you plural have for each other-formal and informal (latin america))

nos tenemos=we have for each other

os tenéis=you have for each other (informal-Spain)

Julian's is a better way, however.
