I have used google to translate this two sentences, but can´t translate in a fluent form 1.Lo haré como pueda. 2.Vete muy temprano, de manera que nadie llegue antes que tú.

by the way,is this grammar's form correct? *Llamaran? Probablemente te (llamaran) pero no estabas en casa.

I will do it as I can. Leave (very) early, that way nobody will get there before you. wink

Namu, without more context I would translate as, "I'll do it (as best) I can." and "Come very early so no one will get there before you."

The sentences are in the past:¿ Llamaron? Si, llamaron, pero... (Did they call? Yes, they probably called, but you weren't home.)

1.Lo haré como pueda: I will do it any way I can.

2.Vete muy temprano, de manera que nadie llegue antes que tú: Go very early, so no one arrives ahead of you.

Probablemente te (llamaran) pero no estabas en casa. (Assuming the sentence is correct): They will probably call you, but you weren't at home.

If the word is "llamaron," then: They probably called you, but you weren't at home.

1.Lo haré como pueda.

You were about to "hacer" it, so the subjunctive was used because of anticipation. Looks good to me.

2.Vete muy temprano, de manera que nadie llegue antes que tú.

Again, anticipation... It did not happen yet, and also there is "de manera que".

Probablemente te (llamaran) pero no estabas en casa.

That one sounds good to me too, because you don't know if they called you because you were not in the house to pick up the phone.
