Preséntese en inglés y diga "Me llamo_____" y describa como está usando el verbo "to be."

Question

Please translate this short sentence for me. Thank you

Answer 1

An accent and a comma are missing, which confuses the whole question!

"Preséntese en inglés y diga "Me llamo ___" y describa **cómo** está, usando el verbo "to be."

Introduce yourself in English and say "My name is ___" and describe how you are [feeling], using the verb "to be."

That makes more sense! - tamalmalamarrado, JUN 4, 2010

Answer 2

Introduce yourself in English and tell "My name is ___" and describe how you are using the verb "to be". I don't get the second part of the sentence, but I hope it works for you.

What do you mean by the second part? - Maria-Russell, JUN 4, 2010

Answer 3

I am called....

My name is...

Now you must explain why you used that particular form of to be. Why are you using is and not am or some other form of to be.?

Answer 4

Hi Quentin, I guess I should have mentioned that I was using Para Lee's quote from the "speak" section of Aprender Inglés, 1.1 Saludos y las Introducciónes. So, there is no way I can know why she used the form she used. I'm just trying to come up with an English translation of the comment she made in Spanish. In any case I don't understand why it's necessary to know why she used the form she did in order to translate in into English.

Following is her exact Quote: Preséntese en inglés y diga "Me llamo_____" y describa como está usando el verbo "to be." Por ejemplo: "My name is Paralee. I am happy."

Answer 5

Is it ..... and describe how the verb 'to be' is being used....?

Or would that be describa como se usa el verbo...?

It seems confusing to me too.
