Matching Verbs to the Subject

Question

Hi so I wrote these sentences in spanish: I fish when it is cool. I play video games when it's raining. I bike when it's windy . I ski when it's cold.

BUT... when I turned it in the teacher said I need to match the verbs to the subject. I am having a hard time doing that though. Here are the sentences I wrote in Spanish.

Yo pesco cuando hace fresco. Yo jugar videojuegos cuando hace lloviendo. Yo bicicleta cuando hace viento. Yo esquiar cuando hace frio.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Hey Skinnyninny1998! what your teacher is saying is in spanish, (like in most languages) you have to match the subject and verb, for instance in your second sentence, "Yo jugar videojuegos cuando hace lloviendo." that means "I to play video games when it rains." Jugar means "to play" so you have to conjugate it to say "I play" which would be "yo juego" also for your third sentence bicicleta is a noun, not a verb, if you want to say "I ride" you say "monto en bicicleta" Same goes for the last sentence, you have to conjugate. There are a few grammatical mistakes but it would be best to learn from your mistakes. Good Job with your spanish, and Good Luck!
