Answer 5

Si ese ése fuera mí yo tendría que pararme para apilar los ladrillos de nuevo cada pocos metros. Estoy admirado.

:) - sanlee, Oct 18, 2015

Se ése fuera "yo" would be much better. (note also the accent on "ése".) - Daniela2041, Oct 18, 2015

I had yo first and switched back and forth. Thanks. I more often follow the new rae guidelines that do not use the accent. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 18, 2015

I can't fix it until I have access to my symbols.:) - bosquederoble, Oct 18, 2015

I'm not acquainted with the new rules. The RAE hasn't made it to California yet. To put accents and so forth I use the "alt" codes. Maybe I should post them??? - Daniela2041, Oct 18, 2015

Answer 7

He used to work in a circus, but his wife wanted him to find (obtain) a safer job! If his wife finds out (learns) about his new job she would probably kill him ...but he needn't (must not) worry ...he probably won't live long enough to see her again, judging by the way he is cycling! ....

¡Trabajaba en un circo, pero su esposa quería que obtuviera un trabajo (o empleo) más seguro! ¡Si su esposa tiene noticias de su nuevo empleo es probable que le mataría ..pero no se tiene que preocuparse ....probablemente no va a sobrevivir suficiente tiempo para verla de nuevo, a juzgar por su manera de cyclismo!

Corrijan mi español, si es necesario, por favor

..que lo mate..que preocupar..you can say: manera de andar en bicicleta - Pablo064, Oct 18, 2015

Answer 8

Bueno, como pueden ver, no estoy montado a la bici, sino caminando y empujándola. Hay menos peligro de caerme.

Well as you can see, I'm not riding the bike, but rather walking and pushing it. There's less danger of falling off.
