Can someone proofread, please? El verano pasado, fui a Virginia con mi familia ....

Question

I am in Spanish 102 and for my next test, I have been instructed to write a brief paragraph on something I did last summer. I just learned the preterit/past tense and have not learned the imperfect or subjunctive yet. I would appreciate any feedback/suggestions.

Thanks!!

El verano pasado, fui a Virginia con mi familia y mi novio por una semana. En Virginia, jugué el básquetbol con mis hermanos, también jugué el vólibol y nadé en la piscina. Algunos noches comimos en restaurantes, y en las mañanas mi madre, cuñada, y yo hicimos el desayuno. Tuvimos unas maravillosas vacaciones.

, y yo hacíamos el desayuno.

• Thank you. Volleyball is spelled differently in my text, and the preterite of hacer is hicimos. Thank you! - graciejo Nov 7, 2009

Answer 2

Change it to "algunas noches" Sorry I think I need new glasses.

• Thank you. :) - graciejo Nov 7, 2009

Answer 3

Hi I think your essay is good and brief but the word "noche" is feminine so its algunas noches. And it seems that the imperfect tense ought to be used in that same sentence because it was a habitual action so instead of "hicimos" I think it would be "hacíamos"

• Yes, it should be haciamos, but since the class has only been taught the preterite my professor is fine with us using hicimos. Thank you for pointing out that noche is feminine. I appreciate it! - graciejo Nov 7, 2009
