Hi! I need some help with making sentences. My assignment:
Escribe de las cosas que tú y un amigo hacen o lo que dos otras personas hacen. Escribe por lo menos seis oraciones completas en español. Use a reciprocal verb in each sentence.
Here are the sentences I have made:
1. Los amigos se ven en el parque.
2. Ellos se saludan.
3. Ellos se abrazan y sientan en un banco.
4. Ellos se hablan y intercambian números de teléfono.
5. Ellos se despiden y salen del parque.
Are my sentences properly written? Also for #4, should I use an "e" instead of a "y" for the word "and" since the words being connected start with an 'h' and and 'i'?
Thank you so much for your help!
I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
Well done! For #3 se sientan (sentar is to seat someone else but sentarse is to seat oneself!)
#4 You could also use the reciprocal "se intercambian" they exchange with each other.
How clever of you to catch the y = e>i. Yes.
I'll flag this and come back later to see if you had any other questions.
Sra
Thank you so much, Sra. Could you also look over this as well?
The directions: ¿Qué son unas actividades en que no quieres participar?
Escribe por lo menos 4 oraciones de actividades que tú no haces u otras personas no hacen.
Habla de ti y de otras personas.
Graba tu voz para mandársela al maestro.
También manda el texto escrito.
My sentences:
1.Mi hermana no participa en ningún deporte.
2. Ya no toco el piano.
3. Ella no esquió nunca.
4. Yo no quiero bucear en el mar nunca.
Olé = well done
#4. Often the 2nd negative is after the verb, but it IS flexible!
Sra
Your sentences are mostly correct! However, there are a couple of small corrections to be made:
1. Los amigos se ven en el parque. (This sentence is perfect!)
2. Ellos se saludan. (This sentence is perfect too!)
3. Ellos se abrazan y se sientan en un banco. (You just need to include the reflexive pronoun "se" before "sientan" to match the other verbs in the sentence.)
4. Ellos se hablan e intercambian números de teléfono. (You are correct in thinking that when "y" (and) comes before a word starting with "i" or "hi," it changes to "e". So, it should be "e intercambian" instead of "y intercambian".)
5. Ellos se despiden y salen del parque. (This sentence is perfect!)
Overall, your sentences are well-written and utilize reciprocal verbs appropriately. Just make the suggested modifications, and they will be perfect. Keep up the good work! If you have any further questions or need more help, feel free to ask!
