Exercise with the pluperfect subjunctive (15-4)

[laepelba]

The exercise required me to complete each sentence with a given verb in the pluperfect subjunctive and then more words of my own choosing. I know that my conjugations are correct, but I want to know if my completions of the sentences are correct. (What I wrote is in bold.) Thank you!!

1) Mis amigos me habían llevado a un restaurante para que todos nosotros nos divirtiéramos.

2) La propietaria nos trajo el menú de modo que lo leyéramos.

3) El camarero sugirió que nosotros probáramos la carne.

4) No queríamos gastar mucho dinero a menos que la comida fuera muy rico.

5) Después de comer, le pedimos al camarero que nos trajera la cuenta.

On the grammar side it's all perfect but a tiny detail: "la comida fuera muy rica" (surely a mistake during transcription).

It would be an excellent practise going beyond and writing a more complex story: "Mis amigos me habían llevado a un restaurante para que (todos nosotros) disfrutáramos de su famosa paella"

¿Paella? ¿Paella?

¿Qué tal parrillada?

Thanks both of you!

Alec, um, nope, not a mistake in the transcription. A mistake in the mental process. Gender/number correlation is pretty much my most frequent error.....

And, yes, it would be a great idea to try to go farther and write a more involved paragraph ... but when I have tried longer paragraph writing in the past, the mistakes have been SO numerous/voluminous that I have trouble staying on top of them.... Maybe I ought to try it anyhow.....

Thanks again!
