No entiendo que "original holder" significa.

Interesting thing about agree: Dictionary.com has an additional definition: 10. "Chiefly British . to consent to or concur with: We agree the stipulations. I must agree your plans. " Both of those sound completely incorrect to my American ears. We could say "We agree," but not "We agree the stipulations." We would say "We agree to the stipulations." As for "I must agree your plans," I have no idea what that means. Can someone explain? Is it the same as "I agree with your plans?" Why is the "must" in there?

The example with must is I think unusual. It either means that I am reluctant to agree, but have no choice, or I think the plan is a particularly good one. The context would make that clear. ![]() |

OK, You threw me off with the one immediately above... Why did you say that "Anything you might have needed" is the one that translates to "Lo que puediera necesitar"? OK, I did, but that's how I translate it. How do you translate that to Spanish? This to me translates as Lo que puedas/pudieras necesitar... ![]() and stop having fun, because there are people that need to learn this stuff. ![]() |
