Would you provide your comments on the following paragraph. Have I committed any blunders? Does "darte" sound ackward. Woud it be better if the IOP came before the conjugated verb "quiero"? Gracias.

Quiero darte mi libro hasta que tú consigues uno. Usas siempre que necesites. No realmente necesito. Todos está en el internet. Además, ya tengo el crédito para esta clase y repitiendo la clase para ningún crédito. He hecho mucho de la tarea antes así que es fácil para mí. Buena suerte.

I want to give you my book until you get one. Use it as long as you need to. I do not really need it. It is all on the internet. Also, I already have credit for this class and I am repeating the class for no credit. I have done a lot of the homework before so it is easy for me. Good luck.

by sentence:

1) darte is fine

2) not sure how that should be expressed, but think it's a bit off. Usas should be the imperative Usa.

Maybe "Usalo por el tiempo que sea necesario" ?

3) Realmente, no lo necesito

4) Good as is.

5) Repito (I don't think you want progressive over that time period, but advanced input welcome)

6) Good (but maybe lead with a Ya)

hth.

As alway, natives will have better suggestions, eventually, probably.

I appreciate your input. - kirk1, Jan 29, 2013
I can't say that I would know better than you, but I would go with estoy repitiendo, because "repito" to me makes it sound like it's not just this one time, but a regular occurrence, but like you, I could see it going the other way too. - BigMike, Jan 30, 2013
I'd add the Ya in 6. - BigMike, Jan 30, 2013
