Sorry I should have posted my answers with my question. 1. A donde princesas cantando? 2. La reina el haciendo? 3. Les gusta cantar? 4. A duquesa gusta cantaban? 5. Cual duque gusta cantar? Could you please help me? I know I have errors here.
No problem! I can help you with the translation of these sentences. Let's go through each of them:
1.) Were the princesses singing?
Translation: ¿Estaban las princesas cantando?
2.) Did the queen used to cry?
Translation: ¿Lloraba la reina antes?
3.) Do they like to sing?
Translation: ¿Les gusta cantar?
4.) Doesn't the duchess like to sing?
Translation: ¿A la duquesa no le gusta cantar?
5.) Which duke likes to sing?
Translation: ¿Qué duque le gusta cantar?
Now, let's correct the errors in your attempt:
1. "A donde princesas cantando?" - The word "a donde" means "where to" or "to where", which doesn't make sense in this context. The correct translation is "¿Estaban las princesas cantando?"
2. "La reina el haciendo?" - The word "haciendo" means "doing" and it doesn't fit in this sentence. The correct translation is "¿Lloraba la reina antes?"
3. "Les gusta cantar?" - This sentence is correct!
4. "A duquesa gusta cantaban?" - The word "cantaban" means "they used to sing", but the sentence is asking "Doesn't the duchess like to sing?" The correct translation is "¿A la duquesa no le gusta cantar?"
5. "Cual duque gusta cantar?" - The word "gusta" means "likes", but the sentence is asking "Which duke likes to sing?" The correct translation is "¿Qué duque le gusta cantar?"
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
