Questions & Answers about No quería que los criaras sin disciplina.
Why is the verb criaras in the imperfect subjunctive form here?
How do I form the imperfect subjunctive criaras from the verb criar?
Could I attach los to the end of the verb, making it criaraslos?
No, you can't attach it here. Because criaras is a conjugated verb, the direct object pronoun los (them) must go immediately before it. You can only attach pronouns to the end of infinitives, gerunds (the -ndo forms), and affirmative commands.
Since quería can mean 'I wanted' or 'he/she wanted', how do we know who the subject is?
