Welcome to SpanishDict. Proper capitalization and punctuation is mandatory here on this site. Shouting is not allowed either. Homework must have an attempt first. - rac1, Dec 12, 2015

This is definitely a homework assignment that someone (who hasn't been keeping up with her assignments) has no idea how to complete and is now asking SD to do it for her. She should get with her teacher or one of her classmates who does know what to do. - Daniela2041, Dec 12, 2015

This is Spanish 102 level in college. If she's in high school it may have another designation. This terminology is all thoroughly explained in the book and by the teacher. - Daniela2041, Dec 12, 2015

Noha, you say in your title: "Help me write a Spanish penpal letter" then you tell us that have to write to your room mate! If she is your room mate, she can't also be a penpal! A penpal is somebody you write to from a long distance away, like another - FELIZ77, Dec 12, 2015

Answer 1

Well, you don't start with "ok so," and you don't start a sentence a lowercase letter.

Do you know what the vocab words are, of which you apparently need to use 5? Do you know what a reflexive verb is? Do you know some stem changing verbs? Do you know what the present progressive is? Do you understand impersonal se and passive se? You can find information about all of these things by following my links, by reviewing your textbook and the notes you took in class, and by Googling. That's where you start.

Then, complete your profile, take your best shot at a pen-pal letter (or roommate complaint letter -- which is it?), post that best shot here, and ask us for help. (I strongly recommend the use of words like please and thanks.)

We will not do your homework for you.

Good luck!

Answer 2

A possible start: Ya me encabronaste por .............................................................

That may be beyond what he has been taught. - Mardle, Dec 12, 2015

Maybe so, but I think one has to be an experienced grammarian to follow this assignment, which was probably given by someone who should not be in the teaching business - 005faa61, Dec 12, 2015

Answer 3

Hi noha, welcome to the forum.

Can you put on your profile your level of English and Spanish? This helps us tailor answers. For example I do not know if your English is fluent or advanced nor how good your Spanish is.

I see you have also asked for someone to write two sentences with ir a - but that seems to be part of this project so I suggest you ditch the other question.

How should you start? Work out what verbs you want to use. I don't know what level your Spanish has reached so do not know if you understand a wide range of tenses and if you have started to master the subjunctive, which you are likely to use with verbs showing emotion.

Here is a list of a hundred verbs and their prepositions. For example in Spanish to dream is followed by 'con'

Here is a link to the main site which is very good.

I am not good at navigating the Spanish dictionary site, but if you o an internet search for what you need + Spanish Dict answers you will get what you want or go to he menu and click grammar.

This letter will be hard work.

Once you have worked out some of your preferred sentences you can add to your thread requesting someone to check if you have made a mistake.

However, if you are careful and brilliant student you are unlikely to ask us to write your letter and if homework for you is a challenge an answer with no mistakes will cause your teacher to comment. This exercise is to encourage you to revise and for your teacher to work out the parts you do not understand.

I suggest you start with Querido Jack or whatever name you want to give your room mate - Querida if she is female.
