Behave or I am going to...

Answer 2

Con los muchas artes marciales chinos no es un milagro que los niños siempre pelean.

With the many Chinese martial arts it is not a miracle that kids are always fighting.

Porcu, I think you may mean " it is a miracle that kids are not always fighting. " I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Oct 5, 2014

Could be both I think amigo :) - ian-hill, Oct 5, 2014

Ian , I would respecffully. disagree here Porcu's version has the opposite meanng to mine and I suspect the opposite to the one she intended ! I doubt that we would use the word miracle in the negative context ! - FELIZ77, Oct 5, 2014

self-correction: respectfully :) - FELIZ77, Oct 5, 2014

Ian for example we might say: Considering teh way those kids just crossed the road it's a miracle that none of them were killed! - FELIZ77, Oct 5, 2014

although Porcu could say; Isn't it a miracle that kids aren't always fighting? /Or, it's a miracle isn't it that kids aren't always fighting! - FELIZ77, Oct 5, 2014

I would use 'tantas' 'Con tantas artes marciales chinAs' but I agree with Feliz777 :'es un milagro que los chicos no estèn siempre peleando ( it is a miracle that kids are not always fighting.) =) - 003e54f5, Oct 5, 2014

To me "it's no wonder" would sound better than "it is not a miracle". - Jubilado, Oct 5, 2014

Answer 5

I will not put up with violence in my classroom. Behave yourselves or I will kick you again.

No voy a aguantar a la violencia en mi salón de clases. Comportarse a sí mismos o te patearé de nuevo.

:) - 00ffada9, Oct 5, 2014

mmhm could it be 'compórtate o te...'? - 003e54f5, Oct 5, 2014

I had that at first; then I checked it using a translator, which suggested the above. I trust you more than any translator, pablo, so if you say it's "compórtate," then that's what it is. - AnnRon, Oct 6, 2014

Answer 6

Esto es tan típico de la vida, un niño provoca a otro a pelear y el niño que reacciona es el que recibe el castigo.

This is so typical of life- one child provokes the other into fighting and the child that responds is the one that receives the punishment.
