what is wrong with this sentence

Question

My child had this sentence on a test:

"Me gusta decir con mis amigos para jugar." and corrected it to read

"Me gusta digo con mis amigos para jugar."

What should it have been?

Welcome! Capital "W" for what and a question mark at the end would be appreciated! :) - cristalino, Sep 19, 2011

Answer 1

Hmmm, so "talking" with one's friends constitutes "play?"... Seems like it should be something like: "Me gusta hablar con mis amigos de cuando vamos a jugar." =o= "Me gusta planear con mis amigos cuando jugaremos (futuro)."

---

The example sounds strange (to me!) in that it sounds like speaking or talking with one's friends is a form of play, no? I suppose it can be, but how many kids do you know that simply chat and call that playing?

Answer 2

Muchas gracias. I'm going to assume that the teacher wanted "decir" to be changed to "hablar."

Answer 3

Me gusta hablar... if you are saying that you like to talk with your friends.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you wanted to say, but this says "I like to say with my friends to play."
