Complex sentence-Please help!

Question

So, I'm doing a report about the story Cajas de Cartón, and I'm having difficulty wording something. I'm trying to say "The pot's scratches and dents made the mother like the pot more." What I have, which I'm not sure is correct, is "Las abolladuras y las mellas hacían que le gustara más la olla a la madre."

Help, please?

Thanks, ogznog

Answer 1

Without context and based only on the information you have provided, I would say it like this "Las abolladuras y las rasguñas de la olla hacían que a la madre le gustara más tal olla."

Also note that "mella" is more than just a scratch.

Answer 2

Porque la olla tenía las abolladuras y las mellas, a la madre le gusta la olla más.

Because the pot had the scratches and the dents, a la madre le gusta la olla más.

I reworked the english a little.
