Im confused about the directions on my hw. I cant really figure out what im supposed to do. This is what it says-
Las siguientes personas quiseron hacer varias cosas el sabado pasado. En lugar de eso, tuvieron que hacer cosas diferentes. Expresa eso.
The example is:
Isabel: ir a la playa/ a la bibloteca
Isabel quiso ir a la playa pero no pudo.
Tuvo que ir a la bibloteca.
think i figured it out now- thanks to everyone who tried i appericate it :)!
If you aren't absolutely sure, post a couple of answers and we will check!

Based on the directions you provided, it seems like you are being asked to express what different people wanted to do on a certain day, but instead, they had to do something else. The example given shows that Isabel wanted to go to the beach but couldn't, so she had to go to the library instead.
To complete this task, you will need to follow a similar format for other people. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Identify the name of each person mentioned in the prompt and the activities they wanted to do.
In the example, Isabel is the person mentioned, and she wanted to go to the beach or the library.
2. Use the verb "quiso" (wanted) to express what the person wanted to do.
In the example, the sentence starts with "Isabel quiso" to indicate what she wanted.
3. Use the word "pero" (but) to connect the two activities.
In the example, "Isabel quiso ir a la playa pero" links the desired activity (going to the beach) to the reason why it didn't happen.
4. Add the phrase "no pudo" (couldn't) to indicate that the desired activity didn't happen.
In the example, "Isabel quiso ir a la playa pero no pudo" means "Isabel wanted to go to the beach, but she couldn't."
5. Finish the sentence with the phrase "tuvo que" (had to) followed by the alternative activity they actually did.
In the example, "tuvo que ir a la biblioteca" means "she had to go to the library."
To complete the rest of the task, follow the same format for each person mentioned in the prompt, replacing their names and activities accordingly.
