My Example:

Cada día que no tengo que trabajar, paseo a mis perros en la mañana. Es bueno para nuestra salud, y he aprendido que dos perros son muy fuertes cuando quieren perseguir a un conejo.


Each day that I don’t have to work, I take my dogs for a walk in the morning. It’s good for our health, and I have learned that two dogs are very strong when they want to chase a rabbit.

would 'walk the dog' be pasear al perro but sacar a pasear el perro be take the dog for a walk? Not trying to be picky as of course the meaning is really the same but just trying to get it straight in my head :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 22, 2011

Apparently, it's too much of a hassle to actually walk the dog!

Aparentemente, ¡es demasiado lío en realidad pasaer el perro!

I don't think the pasear and caminar are both needed there Jason, you could use damos un paseo if you liked :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 22, 2011

No conjugation of verbs, try again. Cada día me levanto temprano así que puedo pasear en las colinas. Every day I get up early and go for a walk in the hills.

Close Jenny, you did conjugate one of the verbs, but you didn't get both...I would say....Cada día me levanto temprano para pasear en las colinas.....or.....Cada día me levanto temprano así que puedo pasear en las colinas. :) Both should be ok, - 001a2987, Jul 22, 2011
depending on your preference.... - 001a2987, Jul 22, 2011
Thanks Chris...very helpful... - jennyo45, Jul 23, 2011

Para algunos de nosotros - los viejos como yo - a veces es más fácil que nos pasear baja del sendero que pasear arriba del sendero. Pero, semejante es la buena vida.

For some of us -- old men such as I -- at times it is easier to walk down the path that to walk up the path. But such is the good life.
