Jpn: Maybe something like "able to {take/get it back}/{recover it}"?

I think it's OK, although it is a complicated concept for a small sentence.

Swift Swift September 8, 2010 September 8, 2010 at 9:39:10 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

In the meaning "were you going to"?

This sounds like the subjunctive... in a sentence that doesn't require the subjunctive.

> In the meaning "were you going to"?

More like "Were you (supposed/expected) to take it back?"

Ah, ok. That works then.
