Can someone please help me?? :( - spanish_learner97, Apr 5, 2014

Answer 1

A is the only correct answer. (Subjunctive of "haber" is not necessary in this case because future tense is used).

B is gramatically correct, but it doesn´t fit the tense of the question.

C is incorrect because the tenses of "descubrir" and "haber" cannot be used together (past and future).

D is incorrect because present of "ser" cannot be used with future of "haber".

I was wondering about this one too... Thanks! - NikkiLR, Apr 6, 2014

I am wondering, though... Answer B, why doesn't it need the subjunctive? --No pienso que terminaran. - NikkiLR, Apr 6, 2014

Thank you to everyone who responded ! I Put down A and I got it right. Thank you so much @JulianChivi and everyone else who took the time to give me their input! :) - spanish_learner97, Apr 6, 2014

Nikki, if the verb that corresponds to "creer / pensar" etc is in present tense or perfect ("haber"), we must use subjunctive. If this verb is simple past / future , we use indicative - 005faa61, Apr 6, 2014

Answer 2

Edit, I should read the question more carefully lol

JC has given you the best answer you can do no better than go with his advice

Answer 3

Actually, I would go for "b". The point of the question being asked is to determine if you understand that speculation uses the future tense. For example: ¿Dónde estarán mis llaves? = Where would my keys be? So in the same sense, the question is asking if you think there will be more discoveries there. You can answer: no, I don't think they have finished yet.
But then again, I am not a native speaker.
