Now we'll talk a little bit about how things have gone in this text. We join Rory and Maria for another dialogue in this episode. As you know, Maria begins by excitedly announcing Rory, we've appeared in the newspaper. It turns out that Rory has been contacted by the Balearic Islands TV station and he'll be appearing in a TV interview tomorrow evening. Apparently, the journalist was very nice and Rory will be on the evening news. The periodist was very amable and me has said that I'll end the news

of the night. It also appears that Rory has received a call from the Scottish government this morning. They are going to value the treasure and then give Rory a financial reward. Of course, Rory explains that they'll share the reward between the three of them. Not only that,

but the Scottish government have also agreed to give him a grant to allow him to study for his doctorate. So it's good news all round. Maria can't quite take in all this news at once. She asks how, where. It seems that Rory will be able to study wherever he wants next year. He could stay in Europe or go abroad. He explains to Maria, do you realize what this means?

Next year, I can choose the destination and I can continue studying what I love most. And he also makes a suggestion to Maria. And you and you could be to live to another country, to live more adventures. Maria agrees that it doesn't sound bad. She can't believe their luck. Rory points out that it's not just a question of luck. They've worked hard. They've been a good team.

They've found the letters together and they all helped. Maria identified the location and got the boat and Alejandro dived with him. And he found it by chance. It wouldn't have been possible to do anything without the help of his two friends. Maria is very happy. However, she reminds Rory that Alejandro is leaving tomorrow and suggests that they could go and have a drink together to bid him. farewell.

We'd go to take to this night for desped us.

Rory's sad to see Alejandro leave after the exciting experiences but he

suggests that there's a chance that they may see each other soon depending on where

he ends up studying. They decide to go to Andratch Port because Alejandro hasn't

visited there yet. They agreed to meet at 10pm in the hotel reception

and Rory will call Alejandro now to make the arrangements. Very well,

well, we're that we we'll we'll repas a repas a

expression? Yes. I'm thinking in the expression don't I

want this is what Rory said when he was saying where could

you go and study next year wherever I may choose in

English we don't have our way of seeing wherever I may

choose just in a simple verb but in Spanish we

can do that with the subjunct don't you want where

where I like. I can go and study where I like. Donde you can go and study where I like. Wherever I may choose, wherever I may like. Now, we can also use another word in Spanish, and that is don't be korea, which is one word. This is where it gets a little bit tricky. Complicated.

So wherever I may go would be, Don'te Kiera that I'm going. Now there we've got Donde Kiera as one word. Donde Kiera Kvaaya. So literally

where I want in the subjunctive that I go. Dondi Kiera that I may go. But it's different from Dondi Kiera.

For example, Rory can go to study Dondi wherever he wants. Which is different from Dondi Kera.

Yeah, same, same same sounds, but different spelling. Yeah, it's the kind of thing that... Absolutely. It's the kind of thing that I suppose Spanish language teachers might test their students on. Yeah, yeah, probably.

Does this have a space in the middle or not? So let's test our students on that right now. Okay. So Carmen, it's going to give you two sentences and you've got to decide whether don't de kiera in each sentence is one word or two words. The first phrase is One more more.

Okay. One word or two. Quedamos where you tell me, Mark. I would say that's two words. Very well. Because it's we will meet.

We're going to meet wherever you want. It's followed by the actual subjunctive there is where where heira. where you're the word. It's the word of the word. We could equally say,

Kedamos, where you want and using a two form. Again, the subjunctive. Okay, let's have our second sentence. Okay, the second sentence. Okay, the second phrase is, that's romantic. Very romantic, okay, other

again. Dondychiera that's, you'll keeper carey Keriento. Okay, together or separate. You tell me, Mark? That one is together. Very

very. So there, Dondecaira Kestes. So it's followed by another subjunctive. There's actually

another verb in the subjunctive. And that's your clue. When it's Dondi K plus another subjunctive,

then Dondi Kera is one word. That'll be together. Dondi Kestes wherever you may be I will continue loving you. I will continue

loving you. Oh, I think we should move on here. This is getting a little sickly sweet. Okay, that's where we're going to leave
