Please proofread my homework

Question

Can anyone help with the following translations? ayudame, gracias

1. nobody knew who she was: nadie sabía quién era, or nadie conocía quién era

   1. he looked like the man: él se pareció al hombre, or should i use aparecer? and is the reflexsive if that 'se'?

   2. Is it subjunctive when i say: Yo creo que el autor deba usar el nombre "blahblahblah"?

thanks!

Answer 1

For the first one I think your first reflects best the translation, for the second I think that's considered the pronomial form of the verb parecer and I think parecer is the right word, third one of the uses of the subjunctive form is when there is doubt, so for this sentence you would use the indicative, but if you say "No creo que..." use the subjunctive.
