My example:

They had just finished the contruction of the house. The architect was embarrassed because he had just realized that he had the plans upside down.

Very funny, Chris! - Ingeteacher, Jun 22, 2011
should that be estaba or estuvo + the adjective avergonzado rather than the verb (passive voice) - 0074b507, Jun 22, 2011
Acaban = present , fue vergüenza?? look for the verb, se justo había ?? what is the justo doing between the two verbs? try again - 00494d19, Jun 22, 2011
Pistas para la corrección: "El arquitecto fue "?" verguenza". "Porque se justo había" cambia el orden de esas mismas palabras. Saludos amigo Chris! :) - fjfuentesh, Jun 22, 2011
Gracias Julián y Heidi!! :) - 001a2987, Jun 22, 2011
