I have knowledge of University level English - so even if I managed to pick up a 'heavy' read I should be okay with it.
BUT, I do believe that I will start with something simple and easy!! (Maybe a kids novel?!) Okay - I have redone again: Newest in purple. Carlos nunca dijo a su familia que la sucursal de Miami tenía problemas. :warning: ¡Eso no es (this is not subjunctive) bueno! ¡Es lamentable que no le dijo a su familia! ¡Es lamentable que no le dijo a su familia! ¡Es lamentable que no le haya dijo a su familia! (I think that all I had to do was add the haya in?) Ahora la familia cree que Carlos les ha engañado a todos. ¡Esperemos que Carlos puede(this is not subjunctive) explicar lo que pasó! ¡No es cierto que engañó a su familia! ¡No es cierto que engañó a su familia! ¡Es no es cierto que haya engañó a su familia! (I think that all I had to do was add the haya in?) Probablemente Arturo vendrá a México a reunirse con Raquel. :warning: ¡Qué bueno que debería (this is not subjunctive) ser! ¡Es fácil que ella sea contento! ¡Es fácil que ella sea contento! ¡Espero que ella sea feliz! (I changed it to I hope she will be happy - does this work better?) |

Maybe easy, but not that easy, although I always recommend you pick up something that will be at your level, not so much as to be a challenge, but enough to leave you wanting more. ;) |

Okay - I am awkward enough as it is!! :p I will follow that advise chileno - thank you again! Will try and get to the library tomorrow. We are in the process of packing our home to move so it is tough to find time! |

-> Es lamentable que no le haya dicho a su familia. -> No es cierto que haya engañado a su familia. "Haber" is an auxiliary verb used for conjugating composite tenses. It needs a past participle. If you still haven't learnt those tenses, you can follow one of Chileno's previous suggestions and make the sentences with subjunctive preterite: -> Es lamentable que no le dijera a su familia. -> No es cierto que engañara a su familia.

I think I responded into the quote ... sorry about that! Thank you very much for your help! |

"Es" was not a subjunctive, that's true, but it wasn't the right verb either: Ser -> es (simple present) -> sea (subjunctive) Estar -> está (simple present) -> esté (subjunctive) :) |
