Mi hermano no sabe nada sobre mi Blog.
Do you like my skillful avoidance of the possible use of the subjunctive?
My opening sentence was going to be:
Mi hermano no sabe que yo tengo un Blog.
But then I remembered about the subjunctive and it's annoying habit of cropping up during times of uncertainty.
"Should it be," I thought, "Mi hermano no sabe que yo tenga un Blog."
Your Spanish Class has not yet reached the advanced levels of the subjunctive so I rejig the sentence so that all possibility of the subjunctive is eliminated. Ha! Take that subjunctive!
My brother knows nothing about my blog.
Regardless, my curiosity gets the better of me. I look it up. Still, I do not know. It is not clear, and my resident Spanish speaker is not around to help me out.
What is clear is that my brother does not know I have a blog. He sees my Spanish grammar book on the table.
"You already speak Spanish. Why do you have this?"
"I like to practice."
"Dork."
Imagine his reaction if he knew about my Your Spanish Class!
