Does this make sense.?

Question

El año pasado tuve unas vacaciones malas y hoy tengo un cuento muy triste que contar. Durante mis vacaciones, tuve muchas experiencias malas.

Answer 1

Bit of it.... Like I can understand the general meaning....

A couple of suggested differences: "El año pasado pasé unas vacaciones malas y hoy tengo un cuento triste para contaros/te. Durante mis vacaciones, tuve muchas experiencias malas.

Using pasar is an improvement ) I would change it to para contarte /para contarle :) - FELIZ77, Jul 11, 2011

or just keep it as para contar (Since it is already implied that the writer is addressing the reader ''you'') - FELIZ77, Jul 11, 2011

Answer 2

Yes,Well done it makes sense! You have been able to successfully convey the general meaning of what you were trying to say. but I think that native speakers would write some parts of your sentence in a different way.

Please could you post an English translation of what you are trying to say so that we can see how best to help you with corrections?

Thank you

Answer 3

El año pasado/último tuve unas vacaciones malas, y hoy tengo un cuento muy triste de contar. Durante mis vacaciones, tuve muchas experiencias malas.

Last year I had some bad vacations, and today I have a very sad story to tell. During my vacations, I had many bad experiences.

Felix, just to help you: you do not keep the accents on plurals in Spanish so : vacación ---> becomes: vacaciones and so you lose the accent :) - FELIZ77, Jul 11, 2011
