Proofreading sentences.

Question

Escriban oraciones con las estructuras y las palabras- accion que se les facilitan.

Modelo: Desear que. R: Deseamos que nuestros padres compren un coche nuevo. Can someone proofread the sentences I created << that side. My problems 1) Querer que << Queremos que llueve

2) Ser bueno que << Sea bueno que

3) Decirle (a alguien) que << Le dice que coma mucho

4) Mandar que << Voy a mandar que haya comida

5) Insistir en que << Insistimos en que veamos la pelicula

Answer 1

For the first one you need to start with ...

Es bueno que .... then use the subjunctive in the second clause.

For the second one, how about ...

Dile que coma más. Tell him to eat more.

No 3:

Le voy a mandar que coma. I'm going to order you/her/him to eat.

No 4:

If the first clause and the second clause refer to the same person/people then you're more likely to use the infinitive in the second clause.

Insistimos en ver la película. We insist on seeing the film. (that we see it)

So how about changing the subject of the second clause?

Insistimos en que ellos vean la película.

We insist that they see the film.

Good answer Kiwi-Girl. I would suggest that Blair90 be sure to punctuate each sentence, as the instructor might take points off for missing punctuation. - Esteban3304, Mar 24, 2014

Thank you K-G for the way you answer which make us all " have a go " at finding the best answer. However I still feel that it would help a lot if all posts could be put in both languages so that one understands what meaning is being conveyed. - britisk, Mar 24, 2014

I'm still puzzeling about " guantes feos " or " ugly gloves " ?? - britisk, Mar 24, 2014
