You were so wonderfully helpful last time, I thought I might ask again for your expertise! I am trying to write three sentences in the future tense. Here they are:

La próxima el fin de semana compraré algunas camisettas y pues voy a almorzar porque tendré hambre.

El próximo mes voy a viajar Queensland, por tanto mi no atenderé estudiar español por uno lunes. Lo siento.

El próximo año mi hija menor emprezará escuela. Aunque estaré un pequeña, voy además estaré contento como ambos mis hijas atenderán escuela juntos.

How wrong are these sentence constructions? raspberry

Just a few corrections...

El próximo el fin de semana compraré algunas camisetas y después iré a almorzar porque tendré hambre.

El próximo mes voy a viajar Queensland, por lo tanto no estudiaré español por un lunes. Lo siento.

El próximo año mi hija menor empezará la escuela. Aunque está aún pequeña, voy a estar contento porque mis dos hijas asistirán a la escuela juntas.

This is fantastic feedback! Thank you so much! I am a beginner so as I write it, I'm thinking I would say it like that too! I've got a long way to go, but every journey beings with a small step, Si?

"Lo siento" means "I'm sorry" ( I feel it ) Can it also mean "How sad"?

Oh boy a exercise! Ok I am also a beginner so expect some errors in my response.


I had some problems understanding your sentences so I wrote the English translations and took some liberties (I think this is close to what you wanted to say).


Next weekend I will buy some shirts, and then I will go to lunch because I will be hungry.

(El fin de semana próximo compraré algunas camisas, y entonces iré a almorzar porque tendré hambre.)


Next month I will travel to Queensland, so I will not be able to study Spanish for one month -- how sad.

(El mes próximo viajaré a Queensland, así que no podré estudiar español por uno mes -- que triste.)


Next year my youngest daughter will start school. Although she will be small, I will not worry, since both my daughters will attend school together.

(El año que viene mi hija menor empezará la escuela. Aunque ella será pequeña, yo no preocuparé, desde que ambos mis hijas asistirán la escuela juntos.)


I also agree with "Chamaco" above -- I wouldn't speak this way, but I know it is just a exercise.

The first thing you did wrong was to think you were wrong. They all make sense to me. Not my style of speech...but I understand. Bueno...others will come soon and tell you how they prefer to speak, but to me, if you spoke them to me, I would understand. wink
