Answer 1

Some suggestions for improvement that are not corrections:

Be consistent with your pronouns. When doing the Recall, how do you remember to use Yo in Yo lo puedo hacer? but not él in ¿No hizo? ¿Puede hacerlo [usted]??

Be consistent with your pronoun placement. Sometimes you put the pronoun in front of verbs with infinitives or gerundios and sometime behind. Both are correct grammatically, but the Recall will mark the one that you didn't use incorrect. (see the first two cards).

Be consistent with your use of You (formal, informal, singular, plural) You have some formal (puede, va, hace) and some informal (estás, hiciste) You's.

When using future English sentences how does on decide whether to use the future tense or the present tense? The future or the ir+a+infinitive? She is doing it tomorrow?

Some corrections:

¿? for each question

last night=anoche (ayer por la noche) which to use?

Cuándo in questions (con tilde)

You cannot use the present continuous tense to refer to the future: Ella lo está haciendo mañana.

When are you going to do it? ¿Cuándo se va a hacer? Why are you using se in your translation? ¿Cuándo va a hacerlo [usted]? ¿Cuándo lo hará?

so how would I say" She is doing it tomorrow? - kcprus22, Oct 25, 2011

[Ella] lo hará mañana. [Ella] va a hacerlo mañana. [Ella] lo hace mañana. - 0074b507, Oct 25, 2011

Could you please look at them and see if they are good now? I really appriciate your help. - kcprus22, Oct 25, 2011

Read this concerning present vs future tense. I would use the present tense in your sentence. http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/courses/future.htm - 0074b507, Oct 25, 2011

the ir+a+verb infinitive (Paralee calls it the informal future tense) is suitable for near future events like in your sentence. - 0074b507, Oct 25, 2011

In which sentence? - kcprus22, Oct 25, 2011

So, Ella va a hacerlo manana. How do they look now? - kcprus22, Oct 25, 2011

I don't think that the Recall recognizes Upper or lower case letters, so the ones that you did not capitalize like ¿que hizo? will not be counted as incorrect, but the key to Flashcards is to be consistent. They should create a CSS stylesheet for the . - 0074b507, Oct 25, 2011

flashcards to force uniformity on to them. :-) Wait for a native's comments. I'm just a student. - 0074b507, Oct 25, 2011
