Ok, so i have tried about 5 times now to try and make this work. But my hw is saying its wrong. Just a little push in the right direction would be great,

¿Necesitas descansar después de (after) los exámenes? sí descanso los exámenes de los exámenes

¿Compras los libros en la librería? sí, compro libros en la librería

¿Te gusta viajar? no, no viajar

Answer 1

It seems like you are having a little trouble seeing the core verb of questions that have more than one verb.

¿Necesitas descansar después de los exámenes? is not asking if you "rest". It's asking if you "need" (to rest). The next part of the question is a prepositional phrase "after the exams". In your response, you have an extra "los exámenes" where you should have a "después".

¿Compras los libros en la librería? only has one verb, and you seem to have done mostly alright there. You did leave out the definite article hint: It's "los". Don't forget to use proper capitalization and punctuation (This applies to all of your responses.).

¿Te gusta viajar? as in the first question has two verbs. Again you didn't include the core verb of the question in your response. The question here is not whether you "travel". It's asking if you "like" to travel, or more appropriately, if you "are pleased by" traveling. Don't forget "gustar" is conjugated differently than most verbs.

I would like to point out that I am only a beginner myself, so it's entirely possible I've missed something. Hopefully if I have, someone more qualified than myself will point it out.

Corrections are appreciated.
