Good morning everyone. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Apr 1, 2017

Good morning amiga. :) - rac1, Apr 1, 2017

Nick you are a legend, thanks mate. - ray76, Apr 1, 2017

I think I got that typo fixed now. - Nickelbackfan1, Apr 1, 2017

Great work as always, Nickel, I recommend a comma after the word mind: Never mind, you can have my bone! This makes more sense this way I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Thanks Feliz I thought I might've needed a comma,but I wasn't sure ( this is all new to me). - Nickelbackfan1, Apr 1, 2017

You are welcome, Nickel :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 1

The dog: "It's really no good trying to hide, mate, I (can) still see you! You cannot escape now. Anyway ....(besides) this morning, you promised to take me for a walk after breakfast!"

You promised to take me = you promised that you will take me etc...

La perra: " ¡De verdad, no sirva de nada tratar de esconderte, amigo, te sigo* ver! ¡Ahora no puedes escapar. Además, esta mañana has prometido que me sacarás a pasear después de tomarte el desayuno)"

o te puedo seguir* a ver (?)

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Answer 2

My head is not a bone!

¡Mi cabeza no es un hueso!

Rac, you have a few typos in your sentence, my friend. It should say: ¡Mi cabeza no es un hueso! I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Muchas gracias, Feliz! :) - rac1, Apr 1, 2017

De nada, Rac :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 3

Este perro es muy generoso y no sólo eso, pero muy lindo también.

This dog is very generous and not only that, but very cute too.

Perhaps "sympathetic" may be better Kat, perfect post mate . - ray76, Apr 1, 2017

Porcu, y no solo eso, sino etc.. - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Please remember that with the 'not only but also' grammatical construction you need to use the word 'sino' instead of pero. I hope this helps :) - - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

You can use the accent on the word solo (only) but it is no longer requiered according to R.A.E : ) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 4

Lo siento pero si no quieres que lamo lama tu cara, no usa uses filtro solar con aroma de coco. Me encanta coco.

Sorry but if you don't want me to lick your face, don't use coconut-scented sunscreen. I love coconut.

Matt, I would say: Lo siento pero si no quieres que lamA (pres subjunctive) tu cara, no uses filtro solar con aroma de coco. Me encanta coco. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Very good attempt, Matt I love your post (caption) :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Thanks, Feliz. I guess it's time for me to tackle the subjunctive. I've been deliberately avoiding it. - mattb1of6, Apr 1, 2017

You're very welcome, Matt :) You still need the Lo before siento ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

You are not alone in trying to avoid it, lol many people do but you (one) cannot continue to make serious progress without learning how to use it correctly as it is frequently used in modern Spanish. I advise starting with the present subjunctive ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

I started learning how to conjugate and use it 7 years ago when I first started using this website. watched Paralee's videos many times over, learnt from native - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Spanish speakers like Heidita (she is fluent and a Spanish teacher) Lazarus, Cordobesa, Daniela, Luis and others too numerous to mention. - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

I am still learning. I nearly forgot to mención, my native Spanish teacher from Spain. - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

typos: mention - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 5

Me siento triste, cuando estás triste. Espero que tú sienta te sientas mejor pronto.

I feel sad when you're sad. I hope that you feel better soon.

Estaban, "que te sientas" mejor pronto. - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Since you have started with the familiar tu form estás triste, the (present) subjunctive form of sentirse should match: te sientas. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Thanks for the help with the subjunctive Feliz, - I failed to recognize the emotion &wish; that would trigger that - - Esteban_317, Apr 1, 2017

You are welcome, Esteban ;) I think you also need to use the present subjunctive after cuando whenever there is a future implication /meaning, so: Me siento triste cuando estés triste ! :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 6

No eres muy bueno en ocultar, chico.

You aren't very good at hiding, kid.

Kristin, I would say: No eres bueno para esconderte, chico (o chaval) I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Another option could be: No tienes mucha facilidad para esconderte, chico (o niño, o chaval) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 7

¿Acaso es de extrañar que el perro sea el mejor amigo del hombre?

Is it any wonder that dogs are man's best friend?

Good one, Bosque:) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 8

Entonces, ¿quién dijo que los animales no tienen sentimientos?

Entonces ,¿por qué los comes? comerios

So, who said that animals have no feelings?

So why do you eat them?

¿por qué los comes? o ¿Por qué los coméis (comen) ? - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Ray, you can only add direct object pronouns like los (them) onto: 1. infinitives eg: Queremos comprarLOS 2.impertatives eg: HazLO and 3. gerund form: - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

eg: Está comiéndoLO but this requieres an appropriate accent to show on which letter the stress is now placed! - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

In the case of adding them onto infinitive verbs, like in your example (post), you can only do this where you have two verbs in succession eg: ¿Por qué quieres comerLOS? = Why do you want to eat them? I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Thanks mate ,I do not know what I was thinking of, yes I do I was trying to be too clever. - ray76, Apr 2, 2017

Answer 9

No llores, tu mejor amigo está aquí.

Don't cry, your best friend is here.

:) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 10

Eres mi mejor amigo, pero aun así no quiero tu lengua en mis ojos.

You're my best friend, but even so I don't want your tongue in my eyes.

Really? I wonder why?!! lol Good one, Ann :) - FELIZ77, Apr 1, 2017

The dog is consoling the boy. El perro está consolando al niño.
