The fifth sentence needs conjugation correction: "Me siento muy feliz cuando corra." I used the subjunctive tense for the second verb in that sentence because it's something that you're talking about doing but haven't actually done. I assume you haven't learned about that tense however and wont for a while so i wouldn't worry about that.

Glad you posted that. I was misreading the mood of the verb in another correction.

Me siento muy feliz cuando corra.

The subjunctive mood is used following cuando [time adverb} when what follows is an anticipated situation (future time).

The indicative mood is used following cuando when what follows is completed or habitual. I would consider this a habitual action.

Me siento muy feliz cuando corro.

examples from article

Por lo general lo hago cuando nos levantamos. I usually do it when we get up. [Indicative...habitual]

Lo haré cuando nos levantemos. I'll do it when we get up.

[Subjunctive...anticipated action]

Of course, every grammar rule has exceptions. Here is one:

Of course, if there is no change of subject involved and a preposition is available, typically the preposition is used with an infinitive.

There seems to be no subject change here so:

Me siento muy feliz al correr... may be the more grammatically correct sentence.

Here's what I've got for ya:

I assume you mean to use "corriente" as running but i would double check that as it is commonly used as an adjective to describe running water, etc. Try using the word "carrera" instead, which means a race. "Correr" should be fine as well.

A runner is a corredor/ -ora so you could try formulating a sentence around that as well. Is it cross-country or long-distance running? Knowing those things will help you make a longer (if you need more length for the paper) and a more grammatically correct sentence.

The second sentence could then say something like "I'm am on the running team at my school" = "Estoy en un equipo de carrera en mi escuela."

Try adding a little vocabulary to the third sentence. "Corro mucho porque soy un corredor con talento" = "I run a lot because I am a talented runner."

The fourth sentence could be rephrased as well: "I run everyday, after school to maintain good health." = "Corro todos los días, después de la escuela para mantener en bien salud."

The fifth sentence needs conjugation correction: "Me siento muy feliz cuando corra." I used the subjunctive tense for the second verb in that sentence because it's something that you're talking about doing but haven't actually done. I assume you haven't learned about that tense however and wont for a while so i wouldn't worry about that.

The last two sentences need a lot of fixing: "Miro la gente corriendo en la televisión en la sala, en el sofá. Me encanta correr."

Just a note: Using Yo is usually not necessary when you've already conjugated the verb correctly.

Good Luck!

PS. For future reference, here's a little cheat sheet that I used during my schooling days: http://www.conjugation.org/ It can be super useful in a bind.

"Corro todos los días, después de la escuela para mantener"me" en bien salud." - 0074b507, Jun 5, 2011
Is el correr incorrect? Mi deporte favorito es el correr. Me encanta el correr. I thought when infinitives were subjects, the definite article is usually used. - 0074b507, Jun 5, 2011

Hi Kataregirl, Welcome to the forum. You can go over your own conjugation by using the dropdown under "More" up in the toolbar. One thing I can tell you is once you've gotten it right you'll be able to get rid of all those subject pronouns you have there.
