Better 'no está claro si esta fanfarroneando o si se está quejando' :) you can use 'sure' if you say 'No estoy segura si...' ;) - Pablo064, Sep 2, 2015

Answer 3

1. brook (6 letters - arroyo)

El agricultor dicho, "Todavia seis semanas del moras azul, si Dios quiere y no elevarse el arroyos."

The farmer said, "Still six weeks of blueberries, God willing and the cricks don't rise."

('Crick' is common slang for creek or brook.)

Crick = a new word for me - gracias amigo. - ian-hill, Sep 1, 2015

..agricultor dijo..(él/ella dijo simple past-- 'dicho' is past participle of 'decir') 'de moras azules' and you could just say 'si Dios quiere' but it would literally be 'Si Dios quiere y el arroyo no crece' :) - Pablo064, Sep 2, 2015

ack! I chose 'dijo' at first, but. My method is to think up the Spanish and plug it in to see if I get my desired English. 'crece' is much nicer. Thanks again! - roveg, Sep 2, 2015

...después de contraer un poco de demencia senil, la abuelita..plantas 'del' jardín would be better.. - Pablo064, Sep 1, 2015

I'm not sure about 'dar un té' it sounds like 'she gave a tea' maybe 'hizo una reunión de té/para tomar el té' - Pablo064, Sep 1, 2015
