Polyglot, please make your requests clearer and ask an actual question in future; eg How do you say, Juan was a very kind person, in Spanish? or Would somone check (or correct) my Spanish sentence for me, please ? - FELIZ77, Aug 17, 2014

If everyone here could do this: write clear questions or requests, we could spend more time helping to answer questions and less time trying to second guess people's intentions in submitting vague posts /mind reading what they were trying to say lol - FELIZ77, Aug 17, 2014

Answer 2

Are you asking someone to 'correct' your translation? Do you want comments on your mistakes? 1.check whether your noun is feminine or masculine

2.check position of adjectives.

3,Ask yourself whether all the words are necessary.

Of course I could just correct your sentence, but I am puzzled with a profile that indicates you are returning to Spanish after a previous lengthy period of study as to why you post a basic sentence with no actual question or purpose eg unsure about adjective placement etc.

Thanks mate. - ray76, Aug 16, 2014

Hello Polyglot

I think that you are looking for a corrections to your sentence:

Juan era una persona muy amable

Juan was a very kind person.

Juan es una persona muy amable

Juan is a very kind person.

Congratulations on using the coreect verb here: Ser is alwats used for describing a person's characteristics, eg: friendly, kind etc....:

I hope this helps.
