Please Correct my Phrasing

Please tell me if I phrased these things correctly. I was understood both times, but I'm just not sure if my grammar was right. My coworker asked me (in Spanish) if my housemate had a boyfriend, & since she does I responded, "Si tiene." Another time I was trying to say that I don't get good grades (in school), so I said, "No me saco buenas notas." Thank you for your help!

Both are correct. The first one can use a comma though.

"Si, tiene." (boyfriend is the omitted subject)

Yes as Dual says, both are correct: the first example with a comma: si, tiene

Regarding the second example:

Another time I was trying to say that I don't get good grades (in school), so I said, "No me saco buenas notas."

I think, you can also say; No me obtengo buenas notas

Another example: << Todos los estudiantes han obtenido buenas notas >> dijo la profesora. = "All the students obtained good grades," said the teacher.

I hope this helps smile

Corrijan mi español, por favor smile
