"Do you want me to write something on the board?"

Question

"Do you want me to write something on the board?" It looks to me like: Quieres que escribir algo en la pizarra, but I am probably wrong.

Answer 1

Yup! One error. After "quieres que" you need the subjunctive. It should be:

¿Quieres que (yo) escriba algo en la pizarra?"

Hello Rees,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You said:

"Do you want me to write something on the board?" It looks to me like: Quieres que escribir algo en la pizarra, but I am probably wrong.

The Spanish would say: ¿Quieres que (Yo) escriba algo en la pizarra. = Do you want me to write something on the board?

You need the subjunctive form of the verb: escribir here: which is escriba as you have 2 different subjects here 1.quieres = you want 2 (that) I write separated by the relative pronoun que with a different verb in each clause: 1 querer and 2 escribir

Well done, very good attempt!

I hope this helps
