I need a little bit of help...

Question

Scratch this question everyone! My Spanish teacher just sent me a message saying she sent me next year's test! Thanks for your help, but I won't need to take this test until 2015.

Gracias

By next year it'll be a piece of cake! :) - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013

Pero no mires a mis respuestas! lol :) - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013

Answer 1

Here are my suggestions:

El hombre midió las cucharas y los cuchillos dos veces.

¿Cuántos vasos / cuántas copas necesitamos? Creo que siete u ocho están bien.

Traduje las palabras, pero no hice la otra parte de la tarea.

Compramos la olla y la sartén ayer.

Cuantas copas, if they are wine-glasses.. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

I like your naswer but we still need to know why he is measuring the spoons, it's abig worry to me, is he a manicac? Or serving drugs? - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

I added your suggestion :). Maybe "counting" is better? El hombre contó... - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013

Answer 2

Well number one is very odd, who measures knives and forks?

However, given the oddity of the question, you only need to say los cuchillos, y perfecto. t

As for no 2, I don't think we need 8 pairs of reading glasses, copas are the most likely here. Kiwi serves water or lemonade, in that case' vasos'.

Ocho copas será bastante, for example. Take out ' yo' and creo is better than 'pienso' .

no 3, well, if you did the homework, it's in the past.. Hice la traducción, pero no ..

in 4,la sartén, me thinks or you'll be out of the fryingpan into the fire.

Nice, or 'vasos' ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 23, 2013

la sartén :) - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013

Thankd Tosh, careless mistake. Kiwi,it's a party, copas, I think. Although, for lemonade, by all means, vasos. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

Jaja who said its a party? Party girl :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 23, 2013

Well, do you have a family of 8? - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

And it's party time, at Christmas, with atable laid down so carefully it's been measured? - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

Don't forget the "u"! :) - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013

Answer 3

In 1 and 4, I think you need the article before each noun.

In 2, it is probably talking about drinking glasses, not eye glasses.

In 3, check your tense of the two verbs.

Try it one more time and then I'll give my suggestions...

Sorry Tosh, was working on it at the same time, but slowly.. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

Great suggestions Tosh, I'd only add that the subject pronouns in 3 and 4 are unnecessary but depending on their level, the students might still be required to use them which may be why you didn't mention it. :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 23, 2013

Yes... I was going to mention that, but you are right... it helped me when I was learning, and now I know to omit them. - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013

Good point Kiwi, I didn't pay attention to this either, it is rather basic. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013

It's ok... I'll go ahead and give my suggestions. :) - Tosh, Dec 23, 2013
