I'll email this to SraJMcGin.
I'm apologize for posting separately but it wouldn't take it-it said something about an URL so I deleted all the numbers and then it worked.
Thank you for helping-I'm really stuck-it looked easy in class
1. Yo pedí = I ordered but your English said "I ate" = Comí un taco en el restaurante anteayer.
2. Bebí un batido en el restaurante mexicano la semana pasada. (most adjectives follow the noun(s) modified.)
NOTE: When you say "el restaurante" with the definite article, it implies that there is only ONE restaurant. If, instead you use the indefinite article "un restaurante" it's "in a restaurant = one of many)
There is no English with the last group, so I can't be sure if you have said EXACTLY what you wished to say. Looking at the Spanish only:
Quiero pedir los (unos) frijoles = no "personal a" for inanimate objects...
(It's always easier to be on the same sentence, when you number them.)
Quiero ir al circo la semana próxima. (de = of/from)
Voy al zoológico
Fui a la ópera raras veces...
Sra
Thank you Sra for responding. Thank you for explaining why I made the mistakes so next time I'll know what I'm doing. Thank you for everything-I really appreciate it-things always seem so understandable in class but when I get home I'm so confused.
Let's break down the sentences and analyze the timeframes used in each one.
1. "Yo pedí un taco en el restaurante anteayer." (I ate a taco in the restaurant the day before yesterday.)
The timeframe used in this sentence is "anteayer," which means "the day before yesterday" in English. To determine the correct translation, you can follow these steps:
- "Yo" means "I," which gives us the subject of the sentence.
- "Pedí" is the verb form of "pedir," which means "to eat" or "to order" in this context. This tells us that the action was completed in the past.
- "Un taco" means "a taco," specifying what was eaten.
- "En el restaurante" means "in the restaurant," indicating the location of the action.
- "Anteayer" is the specific timeframe that tells us when the action occurred, meaning two days before the present day.
So, the translation you provided, "I ate a taco in the restaurant the day before yesterday," is correct.
2. "Bebí un batido en el restaurante Mexicano la semana pasada." (I drank a milkshake in the Mexican restaurant last week.)
In this sentence, the timeframe used is "la semana pasada," which means "last week" in English. Let's break it down:
- "Bebí" is the verb form of "beber," meaning "to drink," indicating that the action was completed in the past.
- "Un batido" means "a milkshake," specifying what was drunk.
- "En el restaurante Mexicano" means "in the Mexican restaurant," giving us the location of the action.
- "La semana pasada" is the timeframe that specifies when the action occurred, referring to the previous week.
Your translation, "I drank a milkshake in the Mexican restaurant last week," is accurate.
Overall, both of your translations are correct. You correctly identified the timeframes used in each sentence and provided accurate translations based on the given context. Good job!
