I need to say...

Question

I want to say we went for gospel tent meetings.

Note: Please only help with the part I ask (in bold) for because this is for school and I only have one question about this.

So do I say Fuimos para el evangelio reuniones de tienda

Or

Fuimos para reuniones el evangelio de tienda

And

for tent, do I just need Tienda, or do I need la tienda de campaña ??

thanks!

Answer 1

Just checking a few resources, seems "carpa" would be a good start. Since it is a religious gathering- ( I remember these) I found this:

"Carpa de avivamiento" to express the revival tent. " Avivamiento" points to " revival" and "carpa" to a large tent.

Campaña wants to take me to a camping tent in this case.

Check this link which seems to be the best one.

Answer 2

Hello actorgirl,

I too am learning Spanish at school and I would like to help you. What you said, "We went for gospel tent meetings," I would probably change this to, "We went to gospel meetings in a tent." So, with this alteration, it should be as follows:

Fuimos a las reuniones del evangelio en una tienda de campaña

We went to gospel meetings in a tent

Since I am not in any way Spanish, my translation may be slightly inaccurate but this is how I would write it if I were in this situation. Another thing to note, if you know of the imperfect tense, you could use it in this situation to improve your grade further.

Íbamos a las reuniones del evangelio en una tienda de campaña

We used to go to gospel meetings in a tent

I hope I haven't confused you in any way and I hope this helps you!

¡Buena suerte!

my friend ,, ibamos would not be correct in this context in my opinion .. it would mean that she used to go or that doesnt remember the time or date when she did that action ,, in my opinion it should be fuimos ..regards - 00b055e0, Apr 19, 2014

but it could be correct too ,, depends on what she is trying to express ,, if she wants to say that she used to go for the meetings ,, then yes ibamos should be the right choice ,, lets ask her ,, hehe - 00b055e0, Apr 19, 2014

Answer 4

Hello Actor girl,

You said:

I want to say we went for gospel tent meetings so do I say Fuimos para el evangelio reuniones de tiendas Or Fuimos para reuniones el evangelio de tienda.

I would say/I think that: Fuimos a las reuniones evangélicas de tiendas /en una tienda

... would sound better but I am not fluent yet so there may well be better ways of expressing this so if you can wait until a native speaker or advanced speaker can confirm this I would encourage you to wait but if you are in a hurry look for some consensus that is in accordance with with good Spanish!

I hope this helps

good one ,, u have my vote amigo - 00b055e0, Apr 19, 2014

Thank you, Jimmy :) - FELIZ77, Apr 19, 2014

Answer 5

Fuimos a asistir las reuniones de la tienda de campamento del evangelio

Or fuimos a las reuniones de la tienda de campamento del evangelio

But if you want to say that u used to go (like every year or every now and then or every few days or periodically etc.) Then replace fuimos with ibamos ..

Best of luck
