Warum sie so gebaut ist
Die Hinweise passen zu den Nummern oben.
- 1¿Quién llamaría…? The conditional wonders about a past event (= who could it have been?). About the present, use the future: ¿Quién llamará? Future perfect and the conditional of probability →
- 2a esas horas = at that hour, implying it was far too late (or too early) to call.
