"I will let you get back to work"

Question

I'm having trouble translating this phrase. The dictionary states:

to let somebody do something -> dejar a alguien hacer algo

Would this be a simple translation, without the subjunctive?

Dejaré a tí regresar al trabajo.

Or, is the subjunctive required?

Dejaré a tí que regreses al trabajo.

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

If you mean get back to the place of work then I would say;

Dejaré que regreses al trabajo

o

Dejaré que vuelvas al trabajo

However, if you mean after interrupting them by chatting to them you would allow them to continue working I think it might be worded differently:

Dejaré que sigas trabajando

Yes I believe that the present subjunctive would be needed here as you have two subjects I and you separated by the relative pronoun ''que''.

You would also use the present subjunctive to say;

Quiero que me compres un anillo diamante

= I want you to buy me a diamond ring

Again two subjects are present separated by the relative pronoun que

I could be wrong as I am not a native speaker so you might like to wait for confirmation This is a great question and I am sure that I will be learning with you on this one

I hope this helps
