4 AnswersMovies1 decade agoSpanish Translation Questions- Future Perfect and Conditional Tenses?
In the future perfect, how would you translate something like, "I wonder where she went." or "I wonder if she wrote other stories." ?
Now, in the conditional, how would you say something like, "
I wonder what time it was when he got back" ?
And if someone could explain these two tenses better than my book, that would be so helpful. Thanks for all the help - it's been a long chapter and I'm so close to being done!
4 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoSpanish Help - Future Tense
So my Spanish book says the future tense can be used to express the concept "I wonder," among other things. I understand everything else in the lesson, but how would I translate "I wonder where he is." or "I wonder how he is." ? It's a statement, so I can't turn it into a question and I need to use the future tense. I'm just not sure which verb to use.
Thanks for the help!
4 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoIn The Ballad of the Green Berets, what does the first line mean?
"Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Berets"
Does it mean they are parachuters, snipers...? I can't figure it out for some reason.
Thanks!

Cowards are called "yellow bellies," and yellow is commonly associated with that trait. So then why do we support our courageous military with yellow ribbons?

10 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoThis is really sad, but I need help with what exactly a closing and opening paragraph should have in it.?
I'm in HS (very pathetic, I know), but I'm still a little fuzzy on those two paragraphs. I know they should both have a thesis, but what else?
(For example, I have to do a 5-9 paragraph paper on how absolutism affected european nobility. So what else goes in there?)
Thank you!!

23 AnswersFamily1 decade agoWhy am I having problems in HS? Please help!?
I'm a sophomore in HS at a small girls school (which I loved last year). Last year I found a good group of 4 friends (well, one girl is somewhat annoying, but the rest are good) and had fun. Well, school started Wednesday and for some reason, I feel like I'm not connecting. It's not that they're leaving me out or anything, they still act the same. I honestly don't know why I'm feeling this way.
Also, I have other friends and acquaintances (sp?) and I'm well liked at school. Not one of the "popular" girls, but well liked. I play sports (3 last year) and made varsity volleyball this year (The girls on the volleyball team are so awesome and supportive, it's crazy) and get good grades, if that helps you.
Like I said, no one's acting differently. I don't like feeling disconnected. Is it first week blues? HELP!
