> I know what time you said to be there
Could you tell me the notional subject of this "be there"?
Does it mean "I know what time you told *me* to be there" or "I know what time you said *you'd* be there"?

(I'm asking this because some of the translations seem to mean the latter while my interpretation is the former.)

Hi tommy_san
The German translation is erroneous and I made a comment there. There is nothing in this English sentence to indicate that the person making the request would himself be there. So to answer your question directly it means "I know what time you told *me* to be there"
Perhaps CK can confirm this.
