I would also say that the word "wrute" should be "write". - Jason7R, Jul 30, 2010

tiones. I am wondering what reason you are in a school for spanish learning? Is it enforced on you? I see that you have a series of such questions where you are getting your homework done for you. // This will not help you to achieve. // Though you may now be behind, having not thought to go this route from the beginning, hard work will be recompensed. It will carry you well through life in everything. It is regrettable to be in a place of learning for a lengthy period of time, and yet fail to learn, don't you think? Use wisdom. //

If you are too far behind, perhaps you can humble yourself before the the teacher, admit your starting lax, express a desire to work for gain, and ask for remedial help. /Whatever it takes. Because looking to have others provide answers for you will not benefit you in this case, or through life.

I hope you won't mind this advise, since I hope that a good word will fall on a well positioned ear - to help you, not to harm you!

Yes I agree it is like someone asking to be spoon-fed fish instead of learning how to fish for themselves - FELIZ77, Jul 31, 2010

Just a heads-up, I would strongly encourage you to do your own work first and then let the gurus guide you through your work. We are very willing to help here but it's not a homework site. Give it a shot and then we can guide you through the answers (that might not be correct). Hope this helps and trust me you'll get better responses to your individual needs. smile

jejeje, 'gurus'. I haven't seen anyone use that in a while. Are we old school SD's? ;-) - chaparrito, Jul 31, 2010
I do believe we are!! I can't tell you how many times I've used that term here and in life!! :) - Jason7R, Jul 31, 2010

Please do NOT provide direct answers for homework questions like this one, this is not helpful.

I would consider it quite the opposite really, as this member wants to prove he is proficient in Spanish and does not even know the second person plural pronoun. I mean, very easy to find, but if we provide answers this person will pass as proficient and both he and his teacher will have a hard time next year!

I am glad to hear you express this, Heidita. I am concerned for this person (likely a young student), but I was thinking that if easy answers get provided, the site could get a rap for being a place to filter in for the students w/o wherewithal to study. - Nise, Jul 31, 2010

Probably too late now that you have been provided the answers, but you could read these reference articles on indirect and direct pronouns.

d.o.p's

i.o.p's

i.o and d.o. p's together

Bueno tengo que añadir mis ídeas también. A veces es casi imposible saber si es algún estudiante buscando la respuesta fácil y claro que queremos todos cumplir con las reglas. He visto que hay días en que las respuestas circulan a prisa y otros en que los sabios ya cansen de las preguntitas y se ponen un poco impacientes y todo eso es interesante y hasta divertido, fun, right? Asíque seguiremos disfrutando de este sitio en la misma manera. Ok? grin

En todo caso estamos para ayudar, para eso estoy acá, para ayudarlos a todos por igual.

En efecto, ayudamos, esa es la palabra. No proporcionamos la respuesta a una pregunta acerca de los deberes.

"Auydar" no es hacerle la labor a alguien ni proporcionarle las respuestas, no creo que a ti o a nadie le gustaría que los niños busquen sus respuestas a los deberes en internet.

No solo no aprenden NADA sino que eso no lo contempla este foro.

  1. No cheating on school assignments.

These forums do not provide free schoolwork, translations, or revisions of texts. You may submit your attempt at an assignment and members have the opportunity to correct it, but no one will do your assignment for you.

Mire Benz, yo misma he respondido a las preguntas 'malamente' y despues tenia que largarme al rincón ese con mi pobre rabito bajado. - margaretbl, Aug 1, 2010
Sinceramente no le entiendo lo que me quiere decir con "malamente". Yo he tenido la mejor intención y siempre la tengo, y soy lo suficientemente grandecita para que me manden a cualquier rincón :) - Benz, Aug 1, 2010
(Estuve tratando de hacer un Spanglish) y se ve que ni siquiere podia hacer eso bien! Mejor que lo digo en inglés. Of course it's not the same for you speaking perfect Spanish but I wanted to say that I run into problems all the time and who cares. - margaretbl, Aug 1, 2010
I meant that it can be easy to read something and take one meaning and then read it later and see another. That's why one level communication (such as this) can be so difficult. - margaretbl, Aug 1, 2010

I had my teacher send me home this summer with some Spanish packets so I could be ready for Spanish 2 next year and I have a majority of the Packet done but this page has me stumped. I need to write the opposite word down for the word with the stars around it

Esto lo puso este miembro en su pregunta ayer. No consiguió la respuesta deseada, es decir, nadie lo hizo por el, se le indicó cómo hacerlo. wink

No vamos a coincidir N U N C A!!!!!

Pues no sé porque no, amiga, es evidente que este foro es un foro de aprendizaje, con muchas preguntas de traducción, ciertamente. En esas, no existe, como en otros foros, la obligación de poner su propio intento, lo que sin embargo sí animamos a hacer.

Sin embargo, si es una pregunta tan obvia como esta, que busca "lo facil" sin si quiera hacer un intento de hacerlo por sí solo...no importa la edad que tenga, está claro que no quiere aprender sino busca a alguien que le haga el trabajo. Eso es lo que no se permite en este foro.

Y por cierto, el hilo, las preguntas originales, fueron borradas por el mismo miembro. Nodeja de ser una actitud sorprendente. smirk

? That is NOT the type of "help" that we provide on SD.

? It doesn't matter WHO the person is asking a question about homework....

? If you do the work for them, by just providing an answer, you are NOT helping them at all!

? We have this rule on SD for a very good reason:

  1. No cheating on school assignments.

These forums do not provide free schoolwork, translations, or revisions of texts. You may submit your attempt at an assignment and members have the opportunity to correct it, but no one will do your assignment for you.

El profesor me lo explica

Mi madre las compró para mí.

Le escribo una carta enseguida.

Voy a dárselo a Margarita.

Tienes que comprarnos un coche nuevo.

Perhaps you have confused SpanishDict.com with DoMy homeworkForMe.com. The majority of the regular members here are here because the wish to learn Spanish (or English). They believe that learning another language is a good thing. When a question comes along that suggests "I do not want to learn Spanish. I just want to finish my homework." They often feel that someone is simply trying to exploit them (their knowledge/effort).

Obviously, assessing such questions is a judgment call. Perhaps the person asking has a sincere interest in learning but is too ignorant/lazy to formulate a polite request. However, we have had a large number of requests that were (quite obviously) copied from homework assignments (such as the topic question in this thread). The phrasing of the question makes it fairly clear that one is not saying, "I am having trouble translating/understanding this sentence." but, rather, "I am required to answer this question as part of my schoolwork, I have no interest in learning Spanish. If you supply me with the answer, I can avoid the effort of studying Spanish."

Basically, it comes down to deciding whether the question is posed because someone wants to learn (about Spanish) or because the person wants to avoid learning. Presumably, if one approves of the latter, one also would think that it's also acceptable for one student to copy the answers of another on a test/exam.
