    Hello,
    Pimsleur says this:

    Она не смогла заказать номер в гостинице (p.c.). - She wasn't able to order a room in the hotel.

    But in an earlier lesson said:


    Я мог. - I was able to (or I could have but didn't).
    Я смог. - I was able to and did.

    Why is the sentence above not:

    Она не могла заказать номер в гостинице (p.c.).

    Thank you,

    Scott

    Оля - Vincent Tailors,

    Thank you!


    Just want to be sure I get it. The only time this sentence:

    Она не могла заказать номер в гостинице.

    can be used is if there was a problem attempting to order a room (phone is broken, hotel phone number is busy, don't have the time to attempt to order a room etc.). But otherwise, if the attempt was made and (hotel is full, room costs too much money, etc.) then смогла OR могла can be used? Yes?


    Она не смогла заказать номер в гостинице. = She tried to order a room, but the result was negative.

    Она не могла заказать номер в гостинице. = 1) She tried and tried to order a room, but the result was negative. 2) She wasn't able to order a room.


    Thank you,

    Not only.
    Maybe the attempt was made (several times), but for example she was turned down (several times). So she tried and tried, but the result was negative.
    In this case we can also say "Она никак не могла заказать номер" (="Она пыталась и никак не могла заказать номер").

    Or "не могла" means "she wasn't able to" (for example she was too busy or she lost the hotel number etc).

    Yes. But, to be honest, "могла" and "смогла" is the same in these two sentences. There isn't any appreciable difference.

    "Не смогла" means that the result was negative. She failed to oder a room. I think "she wasn't able" is the polite method to say the same. So the translation is correct.

    "Не могла" means she wasn't able at that time to do that.

    fortheether,

    I can see that a lot of your earlier lessons have been cut off, but from what remains in Оля's quotes it seems like you started with Level 1 - Lesson 19. Is that correct? I ask because I'm currently working on Level 1 (3rd edition) and doing more or less the same sort of transcription myself. If you've already done those early lessons, I don't want to spam up this thread by posting them again.

    Thanks,

    Grogs
