Just a suggestion: no comma is necessary after Kathy. :) - Austin67427, Sep 22, 2011

"Kathy asked me to let you know that someone will be coming by this Saturday between 12 and 4pm to clean the ducts, Have a nice day"

Kathy me pidió que le dijera que alguien/ una persona viniera para el sábado entre 12 y 4 de la tarde para limpiar los conductos. Que tenga un buen día.

P.S. This is totally out of my league, but I thought I should give it a shot. Let's wait for the experts. grin

alguien* vs "alguno"; I'm not sure if it should be "las 12" and "las 4" or not.. - Goldie_Miel, Sep 22, 2011
I think that it's more likley to be alguien here :) but I could be wrong - FELIZ77, Sep 22, 2011

Can someone please tell me how to say (?)

"Kathy asked me to let you know that someone will be coming by this Saturday between 12 and 4pm to clean the ducts, Have a nice day" in Spanish

No comma needed after the name Kathy

I think you would say something along the lines of:

= Kathy me pidió informarte que alguien va a llegar ( o estará llegando) antes de sábado que viene entre las 12 (doce) y las 4 (cuatro) de la tarde para limpiar los conductos.¡Qué tenga(s) un buen día!.

Let's wait for a native or more advanced speaker to confirm this wink

I hope this helpsgrin

Corrijan mi Español, por favor grin

"Pedir" is better than "preguntar" in this instance, I believe, as "pedir" is used to request something (like a favor) and "preguntar" is used in regards to the actual asking of a question. - Goldie_Miel, Sep 22, 2011
Ex. He asked me about the game (preguntar - info); He asked me to go to the game (pedir - request) - Goldie_Miel, Sep 22, 2011
Muchas gracias, Goldie,:) Sí tienes razón lo había olvidado Ya lo he cambiado:) - FELIZ77, Sep 22, 2011
De nada. Eso a veces me pasa también. - Goldie_Miel, Sep 22, 2011

Kathy me pidió que le dijera que alguno estará pasado el sábado entre las 12 y las 4 de la tarde para limpiar los conductos. Que tenga un buen día.

"algún" must have an object.

Thank you. Please fill out your profile so that we can know your level of Spanish. :) - SpanishPal, Sep 22, 2011
"alguien" vs alguno/algún; pasaNdo (but I'm not sure of the word choice/usage. In English, I know it's seems like "passing by" but I'm not sure if in Spanish it's understand the same way) - Goldie_Miel, Sep 22, 2011
