Key to translation sentences

Here we are again! 

Yesterday we watched a video (in Spanish) about an athlete called Desireé and, after that, I dictated some sentences to translate in relation to the grammar and vocabulary of the unit. Here's my proposal.

1. Desirée podría haberse rendido, pero sobrellevó la lesión y continuó entrenando.

Desirée could have given up, but she coped with the injury and kept on training.

2. Los médicos tienen un trabajo importante: debieron haber desempeñado un papel más profesional.

5. Desirée hubiese continuado entrenando gimnasia acrobática si no fuese por la lesión.

6. Cuando vi la noticia sobre la lesión de Desiree, yo dije: eso no puede haber pasado.

7. Las historias de deportistas como Desirée puede que hayan inspirado a otras personas.
