I don't understand this, and apart from that, shouldn't it be "restan"? Thanks!
En el primer capítulo, el único cuyos contenidos resta resumir y que es presentado a continuación, entrega un marco teórico y conceptual ineludible, precisando el concepto de educación para la democracia (1.1) y ofreciendo una reseña general tanto de la FPN (1.2) como de la PD (1.3).

the meaning of "resta resumer" should be taken from context: is the writer summarizing all the chapters, or only this one? If only this one, then Henry is right.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for offering an answer, Marjorie! Yes, it's odd because she summarizes chapters 2 and 3 (the work only has 3 chaps and an intro and conclusion). I've written her. Am I right in thinking it should be "restan" too? |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
coolbrowne
: Yes, but I suggest "(content) remains". Even though the original chose the plural "contenidos", in the English translation, the singular works better. To the asker: it shouldn't be "restan". The verb is impersonal in the original.

I agree, because the phrase we are used to hearing in English is "remains to be [seen]"

Comment: "Thank you, Marjorie, for the help getting me to understand what I was reading. To your agreer: yes, I posted that I thought resta should be restan, probably just a slip on the part of the author."

Bubo Coroman (X)
: yes, or perhaps to make the meaning clearer, "the only one we haven't yet summarized". "resta" is singular because it's like "basta": "it remains", "it suffices"...
