Answer 1

It might be helpful to translate these words and phrases into English first. The Spanishdict.com dictionary is very helpful.

¿? / no / to study / you (informal) / in the library / today / because

Does the Spanish sentence begin with the regular question mark or the upside down one?

As Afowen suggested please post your attempt for the first one and we will be happy to make further suggestions.

Answer 2

You are not asking for help, you are asking for someone to do it for you. Many here are more than willing to help but few are disposed to doing people's homework!

Have a crack and you'll quickly get help with correcting any mistakes you might make.

i did a whole bunch of them and cant figure these ones out - anapples, Feb 21, 2013

Answer 3

Good stuff.

Basically, here, you need to show that you are trying - lots of people simply copy and paste their homework in the forum, wanting others to do it for them. That doesn't wash here!

The exercise that you have is one of verb conjugation. You need to order the words into a sentence and most imortantly, conjugate the verb so that it makes sense.

2 - NIce work - the sentence makes sense. The only thing you need to note in Spanish is that you don't need to use the pronoun (I, we, you, us etc.) unless you really want to stress it. In this case you don't need to include the word nosotros as 'miramos' is conjugated such that nosotros is explicit.

3 - In this case you've conjugated the verb comprar (to buy) in the 2nd person formal/3rd person singular (i.e. for el, ella, usted). You need to conjugate it for 'los estudiantes', this is 3rd person plural. You can use the conjugation tool here to find the correct conjugation. Also you need to say los estudiantes.

1 - In this one the sentence order is correct but you've not conjugated the verb. Type 'estudiar' into the conjugation tool and you can see how it conjugates for tú.

Super help, Afowen! Muchas gracias! - bandit51jd, Feb 21, 2013
