  • Spanish Homework and the Eagles

    So as homework I'm supposed to write sentences expressing desires or wishes.

    Basically you can express the desire in the future or the past and in one of three ways.

    Future: possible, it MIGHT be possible, or impossible.

    Past: It would have been possible, it might have been possible or it would have been impossible.

    So now I'm wondering how to say "I wish the Eagles had won a Super Bowl" and "I want the Eagles to win a Super Bowl" in Spanish.

    Yo deseo que los Aguilas habían ganado el Super Bowl. (I wish the Eagles had won the Super Bowl.
    Yo deseo que los Aguilas ganaran el Super Bowl. (Literally, "I wish the Eagles will win the Super Bowl".)

          Yes but I really shouldn't complain. The profit margin is through the roof.

          Oh... You were talking to IE. I just saw that...

                  Nope.

                  Espero que los Eagles ganen el Super Bowl(present, possible)
                  Me gustaría que los eagles ganasen/ganaran el Super Bowl(conditonal, maybe possible)
                  Ojalá que los Eagles hubiesen/hubieran ganado el Super Bowl(past, would have been possible)

                  edited to include the second/conditional tense for IE.

                          Spanish olives are from Spain.
                          Spain enslaved and killed many Mayans with force and disease.
                          The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

                          These things I know.

                              Eagles fans are like Don Quixote.

                              I bet Kelly Green knows about the Man of La Mancha.
