Are these sentences correct?

Question

1. Usted debe poder a Hector un libro.

2. Mi amigo que si yo dan a hector.

** I am not sure if a or something else goes before Hector in sentence 1
** I am not sure if dan a Hector is correct in snetence 2

Answer 1

Now I see what you wanted. YOu did want usted.

1. What you wrote actually says "You ought to be able to Hector a book." What you need is the infinitive "to buy."

Usted debe poder comprarle a Héctor un libro.

If you wanted to say "You can buy, etc." it would be "Usted puede comprarle, etc."

2. What you wrote is "My friend that ? I they give to Hector." I'm stuck here because I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

With a translation it is always best to also give the English of what you are trying to say so we don't have to guess!
