Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Invest in a good English--->French/French--->English dictionary. Here is how to use it:
1. take the English word, look it up in French.
2. write down ALL the possibilities.
3. take each possibility and look it for the PRIMARY English meaning. You will have surprises!
4. select the best work, based on the context, or exactly how you used it.
Now, as to what you attempted:
je 'ai pas de voiture = I have no car
j 'apprends à conduire = the verb appren dre takes the preposition à before an infinitive.
"Je ne suis pas vraiment bonne" is too literal and someone will think you are a bad person! Je ne conduis pas très bien = seems better.
to crash = j'ai écrasé la voiture = I crashed the car OR j'ai frappé quelque chose or even "j'ai eu un accident."
When you can't find "crash" use a synonym: hit, struck, etc.
j'ai pensé que j'allais le frapper.
a fence = une palissade
Je pense que mes parents ne vont pas me laisser utiliser leur voiture maintenant. OR always SIMPLIFY: je crois que mes parents ne me permettent utiliser leur voiture maintenant. There is a difference between "penser" to have the thought or "croire" to already have the belief.
Feel free to repost if you'd like but I'll not be back this evening.
