Thanks for reading in advance. Any suggestions? errors? does it flow? Let me know!

Answer 1

Mi madre, padre, hermana, y yo vamos el restaurante para coche. Entramos el restaurante y bucamos para mi otra parientes. Hoy dos mesas para dieciséis gente. Hablamos el sobre que comidas que comer. Me gusta sushi con pescado. Tomo plato y busco para comida en el restaurante.

Mi madre, mi padre, mi hermana, y yo vamos al restaurante en coche. Entramos al restaurante y buscamos mis otros parientes. Hay dos mesas para dieciséis personas.

Hablamos el sobre que comidas que comer. I have no idea what you are saying here. I cannot fix this sentence.

Me gusta sushi de pescado. Tomo un plato y busco comida en el restaurante.

(I assume this is a buffet restaurant)

Again, I am at an intermediate level, there could be errors beyond the sentence that I do not know how to fix.

Let me add that I did this as a present tense, but looking at other of the questions, I begin to wonder if it is a past event. - bosquederoble, Dec 12, 2014

I believe "hablamos" is also past tense, i.e. "We spoke." - Winkfish, Dec 12, 2014

But hay, tomo, and busco for example are not. - bosquederoble, Dec 12, 2014

Yeah, I think he just got those ones wrong. - Winkfish, Dec 12, 2014

pretty sure it should be "por coche" as means of transportation, that is the word that should be used... correct me if i am wrong - tylerleboa, Dec 12, 2014

I usually use en for what I travel in, and por for the area I travel through. - bosquederoble, Dec 12, 2014

Answer 2

Hablamos el sobre que comidas que comer. I have no idea what you are saying here. I cannot fix this sentence.

I would guess that he means: Hablamos sobre qué hay de comer / Hablamos sobre lo que hay de comer. Txustaboy´s guess is also a possibility.

I think they talk about what they are going to eat. Sushi or fish? Who knows? - annierats, Dec 12, 2014

Answer 3

Mi madre, mi padre, mi hermana, (1) y yo vamos al restaurante para coches. Entramos en el restaurante y buscamos a mis otros parientes. Hay dos mesas para dieciséis personas. ¿Hablamos sobre que vamos a comer? (imagination). Me gusta el sushi con pescado. Cojo un plato y voy a buscar comida por el restaurante.

(1) You must use the possesive before any of your parients that you enumerate.

Sushi con pescado gets very fishy... I think this is what they are talking about, what to eat. - annierats, Dec 12, 2014

But the restaurant is not for cars, it´s for eating, so "restaurant para comer en coche/auto" would make more sense - 005faa61, Dec 12, 2014
