Questions & Answers about Tráigamelo al quirófano conforme indique el triaje.
Why is indique in the subjunctive here instead of the indicative indica?
We use the subjunctive after manner conjunctions like conforme (as, according to how) when the action hasn't happened yet or is unknown. The speaker is telling the listener to follow the triage instructions as they are determined in the future. If the triage results were already known and established, the speaker would use the indicative indica.
What are the pieces attached to the end of Tráigamelo and why does it need an accent?
Tráigamelo combines the formal usted command traiga (bring), the indirect object me (to me), and the direct object lo (him/it). Because adding pronouns to the end of a command shifts the word's syllables, we must add a written accent on the a to maintain the original spoken stress of traiga.
Could I use según or como instead of conforme in this sentence?
Yes, they are essentially interchangeable here. Conforme, según, and como plus the subjunctive all express doing something "in whatever way" or "according to how" a future event unfolds. Conforme can sound slightly more formal or procedural, which fits this medical setting perfectly.
Why does the verb indicar change its spelling to qu in ?
