spanish1 homework check - SraJMcGin, Tuesday, September 21, 2010 at 4:58pm
1. son las, etc.
To show you how to make accent marks with the computer I need to know 2 things. a) do you have a MAC or a PC and b) do you have Windows or not.
2. Son las seis y doce.
Divide the clock in 1/2. Everything up to the half hour uses "y" and everything after uses "menos."
3. Son las ocho menos veinte.
4. Son las cuatro menos cinco.
5. Es la una y cuarto.
6. Es la una menos cuarto (cuatro = 4 but cuarto = 15 mins or quarter of an hour
7. Son las doce. OR Es el mediodía OR Es la medianoche.
Your textbook should have an explanation of how to tell time. If NOT, let me know and I'll type it up for you.
8. Son las dos y veinticinco.
9. Son lass tres 7 cinco.
Now that you have them all wrong, it will take a LOT of repetition to undo that.
10. Son las diez y media.
11. ok
12. tiene el pelo, etc.
13. las piernas cortas. All adjectives have the same number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine or feminine) as the NOUN modified. las piernas = feminine plural so cortas must also be feminine and plural
14. la lengua española es divertida (see how the adjective is feminine singular just like the noun?)
15. Mis amigos son divertidos (check out adjective & noun)
16. ¡Qué buena comida! (adj. feminine singular like noun)
17. Eres un buen amigo. (bueno shortens to buen before a masculine singular noun)
18. María es una buena persona. (review the adjectives in your textbook or ask me to explain how adjectives work)
19. El perro es simpático. (Sorry, but when a word requires an accent mark, it will be WRONG if it is missing!)
20. Easter Sunday = Depending upon your textbook there are 3 ways:
1. Pascua de flores
2. Pascua de Resurrección
3. Pascua florida
Sra (You have a lot of review to do, so please ask for it, because something is wrong with every number here. It's good to catch it early!
In addition, you should know that your posting ability has been blocked for a couple of days. I am hoping that you will learn some online manners on a homework-help website between now and whenever we un-block you.
Algebra for Whitney:
Your algebra post had 3 answers correct out of 19. The second question does not contain a correct answer, so I suspect that there is a problem with the question itself.
3/19 resembles very much 1 out of 6 choices, which brings me to the conclusion that either
1. the answers were chosen at random, or
2. you badly need a tutor, even if you are homeschooled.
If and when you have a chance to post again, split the post into 4-5 questions each so that volunteer teachers have a chance to take small bites while they also need to help others.
As Mme Sra mentioned, post your answers early if you need them checked.
It seems like you have provided an answer to a Spanish 1 homework check from SraJMcGin. The post contains various Spanish phrases and explanations on how to form accent marks, tell time in Spanish, use adjectives in agreement with nouns, and translate certain phrases.
To form accent marks on a computer, SraJMcGin asks if you have a MAC or a PC, and if you have Windows or not. Based on this information, she could provide specific instructions on how to make accent marks.
For telling time in Spanish:
- "Son las seis y doce" means "It is six twelve." You can use "y" (and) before the hour and "menos" (minus) after the hour to indicate minutes.
- "Son las ocho menos veinte" means "It is twenty minutes to eight" or "It is seven forty."
- "Son las cuatro menos cinco" means "It is five minutes to four" or "It is three fifty-five."
- "Es la una y cuarto" means "It is one fifteen" or "It is a quarter past one."
- "Es la una menos cuarto" means "It is one minus a quarter" or "It is a quarter to one."
- "Son las doce" means "It is twelve o'clock." Alternatively, you can say "Es el mediodía" for "It is noon" or "Es la medianoche" for "It is midnight."
- "Son las dos y veinticinco" means "It is two twenty-five."
- "Son las tres 7 cinco" seems incorrect. It could be a typo or an incorrect representation of the time. The correct way to write it would be "Son las tres y cinco" for "It is three o'clock and five minutes."
- "Son las diez y media" means "It is ten thirty" or "It is half past ten."
For using adjectives in agreement with nouns:
- Adjectives in Spanish must match the number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine or feminine) of the noun they modify.
- For example, "las piernas cortas" means "short legs." "Piernas" is feminine plural, so the adjective "cortas" must also be feminine and plural.
- Similarly, "la lengua española es divertida" means "the Spanish language is fun." "Lengua" is feminine singular, so the adjective "divertida" matches it in gender and number.
SraJMcGin mentions that your textbook should have an explanation of how to tell time and work with adjectives. If not, she offers to provide explanations.
Lastly, she mentions that there are different ways to say "Easter Sunday" in Spanish, depending on the textbook:
1. Pascua de flores
2. Pascua de Resurrección
3. Pascua florida
SraJMcGin notes that there are mistakes in every number of your response and recommends reviewing the concepts. She encourages you to ask for clarification or additional review if needed.
