El Sábado voy acampando en Wales

Question

Can you help with these 2 sentences please??

I am trying to say "on saturday i am going camping in wales" and "what are you doing on saturday?"

I have - 'El Sábado voy acampando en Wales' and '¿adonde vas el sábado?'

Hopefully I'm quite close but would appreciate it if someone could help me out and tell me where I have gone wrong!

Thank you

Sorry I meant **"where are you going on saturday"** - lucylysenko, JUL 15, 2010

¿Adónde vas...? (con tilde) - 0074b507, JUL 15, 2010

Careful to use proper capitalization on the site Lucy. Welcome to the forum - nizhoni1, JUL 15, 2010

Answer 1

Hello Lucy Welcome to the SpanishDictForum

Your question: I am trying to say "On saturday I am going camping in wales" and "Where are you going on saturday?"

You could also say/put it this way:

I am going camping en Wales on saturday

= ¿Voy a acampar en Gales.el sábado?

Where are you going on saturday?

= ¿A dónde vas el sábado?

Sheesh, and I didn't even know there was a word 'acampar' I thought it just was ir de camping... learn something every day - margaretbl, JUL 15, 2010

Answer 2

Your question has been aswered by other posters on this thread but it should be mentioned in passing that you do not use the gerund like we do in english as in your title you would only use it with the verb estar when you are in the act of the activity, i.e. en este momento estoy acampando en país gales.

Good point Ken I was so focused on answering her question I forgot to mention that - FELIZ77, JUL 15, 2010

Thank you so much for that. Very helpful indeed!! - lucylysenko, JUL 15, 2010

Answer 3

Or you could ask "¿Qué vas a hacer el sábado?"

Asking - What are you going to do on Saturday?

days of the week aren't capitalized in Spanish. Qué sábado - 0074b507, JUL 15, 2010

Please Lose the capital letter on the initial s of sábado and give it the correct accent on the a and I can give you a vote - FELIZ77, JUL 15, 2010

Thanks guys... I am, at this moment, learning more how to speak Spanish than true written grammer. Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated. - kerflop, JUL 15, 2010
