Good one. jeje - rac1, Sep 7, 2014

¿Una cita para ver 'a' su dentista... ? - 003e54f5, Sep 8, 2014

Answer 2

The test is faulty. It should read how many does he have left? The teacher opened the door and TC walked right through it.

El examen fue malo. Debe leer, cuántos quedan? El maestro abrió la puerta y T.C. caminó directamente a través de ella.

Clever, Wording is everything in learning to make tests. - katydew, Sep 8, 2014

You sound like a war-worn veteran teacher :p Can't agree more, of course. - Helado_eclectico, Sep 8, 2014

Debe leer cuántos 'le' quedan? :) - 003e54f5, Sep 8, 2014

Answer 3

Bob should not have been greedy and given me some of them.

Bob no debería haber sido codicioso y me ha dado algunos de ellos.

Answer 4

¡El chico que escribió esa respuesta es listo, porque muestra que puede (pueda?) pensar fuero* de la norma y su padre es un médico! El único problema es que su profesor no tiene una buena reputación (o no tiene fama) de tener un buen sentido de humor!

to 'think outside the box'' = fuera de la normal/ fuera de lo acostumbrado* / o fuera de lo usual.

The boy who wrote that response is smart because he shows that he can 'think outside the box' and his father is a doctor! The only problem is that his teacher is not noted for having (ie::doesn't have a reputation for having) a good sense of humour!

Editor's note/s: To 'think outside the box' is an idiom/expression in English that means to think outside the conventional ways of thinking/creatively .......when applied to problem solving!

Corrijan mi español, por favor

'fuera de lo normal could be and 'un buen sentido 'del' humor!' :) - 003e54f5, Sep 8, 2014

Answer 5

Unfortunately, T. C. Hale's parents probably aren't going to laugh when they see his grade.

Por desgracia, los padres de T.C. Hale probablemente no vayan a reír cuando vean su nota.

The best answer! Very witty! But that word "vean" confuses me. I know the word "ver" but I don't know that form of conjugation. - 00ffada9, Sep 7, 2014

Vean is present plural third person subjunctive- the usage seems appropriate to me here. - bosquederoble, Sep 7, 2014

That being said, I think it needs to be "van a reír" - bosquederoble, Sep 7, 2014

Or even "vayan a reír". - bosquederoble, Sep 7, 2014

I agree with Bosque: probablamente no vayan a reír :) - FELIZ77, Sep 7, 2014

Thanks, you guys. It's clear that I bit off more than I could chew all by myself. - AnnRon, Sep 8, 2014

On further thought, it occurred to me that I used the subjunctive in the wrong place, so I changed "van" to "vayan" as suggested, but I also changed "vean" to "ven."Should I have left vean"? - AnnRon, Sep 8, 2014

When you follow cuando with something that has not happened yet (as opposed to a regularly occurring event that has happened and is going to happen again) it should be subjunctive. - bosquederoble, Sep 8, 2014

Okay. Thanks! Had part of it right to start with. - AnnRon, Sep 8, 2014

Answer 6

Me alegro de que no soy su profesor.

I am glad I am not his teacher.

Answer 7

Sus padres son ricos.

His parents are rich.

G'day mate. - ian-hill, Sep 7, 2014

Owyagoin orriteareyus? Have a good one mate. - ray76, Sep 7, 2014

Answer 8

¡Ese chico es listo! ¡Él ya sabe la verdad!

That boy is smart! He already knows the truth!

Answer 9

Este chico tiene un carácter muy pesimista. Podemos esperar que Bob tuviera diabetes solo si sigue comiendo dulces en su adultez también durante muchos años.

This boy has a very pessimistic character. We can hope that Bob should have diabetes only if he keeps on eating sweets in his adulthood also for many years.

Very true. - rac1, Sep 7, 2014

Answer 10

Seven candy bars and a belly ache.

Siete barros de caramelo y un dolor de estómago.

Siete 'barrAs' de caramelo y un dolor de estómago. :) - 003e54f5, Sep 8, 2014

Answer 11

Después de leer el mensaje de Ann-Ron en el hilo de Ray- todo en lo que puedo pensar es que aquí tenemos un estudiante que entiende algo que va a servirle bien en el futuro, aunque no es una respuesta que va a hacer que aprueba un examen.

After reading Ann-Ron's post on Ray's thread, all that I can think about is that here we have a student that understands something that is going to serve him well in the future, even if it is not an answer that is going to make it so he passes a test.

Answer 12

[ESP]

Las otras respuestas son divertidas también. Por ejemplo:

Pregunta:

Dos trenes han salido de Kalamazoo: un hacia el norte y el otro hacia el sur. El primero tren se mueve a noventa millas por hora, mientras el segundo tren se mueve a ochenta y cinco. ¿Cuál debe usar Bob si quiere salir de Kalamazoo?

Respuesta:

No en ninguno de los dos. Debe caminar a pie porque el ejercicio es bueno para pacientes con diabetes.

---

[ENG]

The other answers are funny too. For example:

Question:

Two trains left Kalamazoo: one towards the north, the other towards the south. The first train moves at 90 miles per hour, while the second travels at 85 miles per hour. Which should Bob use if he wants to leave Kalamazoo?

Answer:

Neither. He should walk since exercise is good for diabetic patients.

'Ninguno' de los dos. Debe caminar 'a' pie porque el ejercicio es bueno para pacientes 'con' diabetes. :) - 003e54f5, Sep 8, 2014

Gracias por tu ayuda, pablo :) Always appreciated. - Helado_eclectico, Sep 10, 2014
