votes
I'm thinking of studying Spanish at uni and for one of the universities there is an aptitude test that you have to sit first. I just had a look at the specimen paper and this was one of the questions.
Buscaba a alguien que me [PODÍA/PUDIERA] ................................. indicar dónde [ERA/ESTABA] ................................. la conferencia
Would it be "Buscaba a alguien que me pudiera indicar donde estaba la conferencia"?

Yes, I think so, but I've not studied at uni. - annierats, Jun 12, 2013
Perfect. Its pudiera because it is the imperfect subjunctive (indicated by "Buscaba a alguien que", buscaba is the imperfect) and the second is estaba because estar is used for locations. If you want more help check out my blog. Vidadescott.blogspot.com. - Vida_de_Scott, Jun 13, 2013
