Conjugating verbs in a conversation

Question

Hi so I had to write a conversation in spanich for class and I turned it in. Well my teacher said I did not conjugate my verbs.. Somebody please help! I have tried using the link that says conjugate above.

Hola Brandon! Yo tener un viaje a Argentina. Yo traer muchos pantalones para el clima fresco. Yo poner un traje de baño en mi bolsa para el clima caliente. Sydney- Yo oir que es caliente en España. Traer muchos pantalones cortos para el calor. Brandon- Traer botas para el clima frío en argentina. Sydney-Tener unas buenas vacaciones. Adios!

You cannot conjugage a conversation. You must conjugate the verbs in that conversation. If you would fill in your profile and then make an attempt at conjugation, someone will no doubt help you out. - 007c5fc1, May 18, 2014

Answer 1

Tener is a verb infinitive that means 'to have'. So youve written, i to have a trip ....

You need to conjugate tener to reflect a tense - in this case the present tense.

Click on the conjugate Tab above and type tener.

The very first column shows you the present tense. Now all you need to do is choose the conjugación for yourself, that's the one in the yo row.

So that first verb should be conjugated as tengo.

Tengo un viaje = i have a trip.

If that's what you wanted to say you're good to go but that might not be the most natural way to say it.

Perhaps a better option would be to use the verb ir and if you want to stick to the present tense you could say .... Voy a Argentina. Im going to Argentina.

I hope that helps. Just follow the same steps for the other verb infinitives.

Answer 2

Hello Skinny,

Margherite and Kiwi have given you some good advice.

However, you would not say, in English: I have a trip to Argentina You would say: I took a trip to Argentina, or better still:

You would say: I travelled to Argentina: = He viajado a Argentina (This uses the perfect indicative tense)

I would suggest that first you post an English verson of what you would like to say for us to check and we will offer any corrections and then you can start to work out how to translate your sentences in Spanish. I am saying this because the muddled sentences seem to suggest or reflect confusion and incorrect English grammar.

I hope this helps
