Don't worry little midget man (sitting on the lamp) I'm sure I'll have a pair in here to fit you.

I've changed ten pairs to one air freshener, but the smell is still bad in my flat.

He cambiado diez pares a uno ambientador, pero el olor es todavia mal en mi piso.

Cuando digo dicho a mi esposa que no puedo pudí correr con ella sin zapatos nuevos, debí saber lo que hacería haría.

(I finally cheated and used Google Translate)

Cuando le dije a mi esposa que no podía correr con ella porque no tenía el calzado adecuado, que debería haber esperado esto.


When I told my wife that I could not run with her because I did not have the right shoes, I should have expected this.

Should poder be conditional? - danrivera, Jun 7, 2011
moves to the blackboard to write conjugations 10 times each... ;-) - danrivera, Jun 7, 2011
I was definitely all messed up with "decir". With "poder", I just was not getting the proper message across. Imperfect, conditional... yep, need to work at it. ;-) - danrivera, Jun 7, 2011
