Nunca 'hagas' algo ahora que' puedas' hacer luego ( subjunctivated sentence ;) ) Good pesta! - cogumela, Mar 21, 2011
Me parece que es mejor dice ¨Nunca hagas nada¨, porque es negativo. ¿Qué te parece? - angel5, Mar 21, 2011
We're not saying "don't do anything (nothing)". This refers to something that may be done later. It's negative about hacer, but not about the object. Does that make sense? - pesta, Mar 21, 2011
The subordination makes the difference. It should be "Nunca hagas X = (nada ahora) si puedes hacerlo luego". With the "que", it changes to: X = algo que puedas hacer luego. - cogumela, Mar 21, 2011
¡Gracias, Cogumela! - pesta, Mar 21, 2011
