No olviden usar la acento grafico si correzponde. 2 ecuador declaró la alerta roja, maximo nivel de peligrosidad, en los alrededores del bolcán tungurahua. 3 La sílaba es cada sound que pronunsiamos al decir las words.

Con correciones:

1.No olviden usar (utilizar) el acento gráfico si corresponde

2.Ecuador declaró una alerta roja, máximo nivel de peligrosidad, en los alrededores del Bolcán Tungurahua.

3 La sílaba es cada sonido que pronunciamos al decir las palabras

Editors note: I toyed (played around) with the idea of whether it was necessary to use the subjunctive here in the last exercise or not (3) que pronunciemos or que pronunciamos but as some others more experienced than myself like Kiwi Girl and Annie had not done so I changed it back having concluded that the indicative was probably called for. If anything I tend to err on the side of using the subjunctive after que more than I should do lol I am not sure if this is best practice??? lol

Corregid mi español, por favor grin

2 Ecuador declaró una alerta roja, el máximo nivel de peligrosidad, en los alrededores del Volcán Tungurahua.

3 La sílaba es cada el sonido que pronunciamos al decir las palabras.

I had trouble with bolcán tungurahua but I see it’s Volcán Tungurahua.

After looking at Kiwi Girl I see it’s a red alert rather than the red alert.

El in front of máximo, probably because it’s a noun?

Any other corrections! Thanks again, Carlos!! I think I am getting the hang of how to do these.

Good job bandit. You could say "cada sonido" or "el sonido" (#3). - Carlos-F, Dec 7, 2010
