Answer 2

Great job! Only a few errors that I could find.

Juan le dijo a la camarera que le trajera un vaso de agua.

El equipo había ganado catorce partidoss.

Ella se pintará las uñas mañana para ponerse bonita para la boda. [Parecer would imply that she's only "appears" to be pretty.]

Why is the subjunctive in # 4, not sure if she'll bring it?? - SpanishPal, Jul 19, 2011

Because it's an indirect command. I'm not sure about the specific rule. - gintar77, Jul 19, 2011

Traeme un vaso de agua, por favor. ¡Te dije que me trajeras un vaso de agua! - gintar77, Jul 19, 2011
