Me pregunté si ella supiera lo que pasó (¿correcto?)

Question

Me pregunté si ella supiera lo que pasó - I wondered if she knew what happened

Would supiera be correct here?

I don't know if she knows what happened and I'm wondering. Everything is all a bit foggy so I suppose it is subj.????

Gracias!

EDIT: The correct sentence is

"Me pregunté si ella sabía lo que pasó"

I would guess si ella sabía but I'm trying to find it in my grammar book... what a question! Here's an example I found which is similar: Preguntamos si han terminado. - We ask if they've finished. Note it's not "hayan" - rabbitwho, Sep 30, 2011

yeah... that's a good point rabbit. I was searching in my grammar book and it doesn't mention to wonder - dewclaw, Sep 30, 2011

Answer 1

..Si sabía, si sabría lo que...

Subjunctive does not apply here.

Yay! *does a happy dance* - rabbitwho, Sep 30, 2011

Answer 2

That's the trouble with mnemonics and "triggers". They seduce one into thinking that the whole process can be mechanized. Far better to familiarize yourself with a large number of real sentences (through reading and conversation) by native speakers and imitate them.
