votes

hillo. good day to you! i am garriel a new spanish student from Philippines and yosécomohablartreslenguascomofilipino, inglés y cebuano) and i want to know Spanish that is why i study so hard, but without the opinion of of others and your help i cannot do this by my own, so i wrote this letter or questions to ask from you a clarification regarding my ongoing lesson in Spanish !( i preferred specially Spanish teachers).

I am still in basic now and i am using the book of john kennethleslie from north western university and his book entitled spanish for conversation-- a beginning grammar. and each of his lesson has a questions but written in Spanish.. so that i can understand it i translated it on my own!

here is a story entitled

                  **En la clase y después de la clase**

from his book( from the author)

El profesorentra en la clase. --- buenosdías -- dice el profesor. --- buenosdías, señor -- dicen los alumnos uno de los alumnos lee un libro. elprofesor pregunta: ¿qué lee usted en el libro? -- elalumno contesta: -- leo la lección. luego el profesor pregunta: --¿ no leen ustedes la leccion en casa? -- el alumno contesta: -- sí, señor martinez, leemos la lección en casa, pero no comprendo toda la lección. -- ¿cómo preparan ustedes la lección? -- dice el señor martinez. maria contesta: -- escuchamos el disco, leemos la lección, contestamos a las preguntas del libro y escribimos los ejercios. hay muchos ejercicios y hay muchas preguntas en el libro! después de la clase los alumnos conversan un rato. virginia dice que es de california. explica que su padre es médico y que es muyviejo. su familia vive en california. porque él es viejo y porque el clima de california es bueno. carlos dice que es nueva york. Dice que su padre es abogado y que es politico tambien.

questions:

If you will be the one to translate how would it be?(so that i can compare it with mine?) and why?

2.for the text i bold above. i noticed that the author used 3rd person singular and sometimes 3rd person plural from the different verbs used above from its conjugations. is he correct and why? and notice also that he uses preguntas and ejercicios in different way ,how did he do this? are this nouns which denotes idea? why he doesn't use 3rd person sing. or plural?

if we are going to translate it word by word in english it would results like this:

buenos días -- dice el profesor (trans: good morning -- he say the profesor.)

buenos días -- dicen los alumnos (trans: good morning--they say the students)

please make any clarification from this!

how would you translate the following listed below assuming that you are telling a story and you ask these questions after the story telling!

is there any questions ? (addressing to many persons)

do you have a questions? (addressing to one and many persons)

what is your answer? (addressing to one and many persons)

from the text or word i bolded above how would you translate it ?would you use conjugation which is the 3rd person sing. or plural or you use noun? why?
