I Don't Think I Will Outlive Her
As a response to an e-mail, I was attempting to say:
No, I don't think I will outlive her. She is healthier than I am. What I wrote was: No, no creo que le sobreviva a ella. Ella está más sana que yo. After sending the e-mail, I began to question if what I wrote was even understandable. How close did I get? Should I have used an infinitive instead of a subjunctive construction in the first sentence since there is no change in pronoun or is the subjunctive okay? |
I believe using the infinitive, instead of the secondary clause, would be preferred, since there's no change in subject.
No, no creo sobrevivir a ella. Es más sana que yo. Notice the use of ser in the second sentence. There are other ways to say the same thing. |
Thank you, Rusty.
