    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    its translation

    Все боялись, как бы дети не заблудились в лесу.

    How do you translate this sentence? Is [Everyone was afraid that the children could lose their way in the forest.] a correct translation?

    Or: ...could be lost in the forest
    Well, I don't know what to say. I want to say thanks to the Academy, to Mama, to Papa and to my dog. I love you all.

    Nahh. That sounds weird. It sounds as if A. they're already lost, but you're not sure where, maybe in the forest, or B. someone else loses them in the forest (oh whoops - honey, I dropped the kids somewhere.... )

    Better:
    ".... could get lost in the forest" (=possibility, they might just get lost) or ".... would get lost in the forest" (=they're almost sure to get lost)


    Ilkay - I love these little exercises of yours, please keep them coming!
    Ой, голова у меня кружится |-P ...... and my brain hurts too....
