Does no one say "please" or "thank you" anymore when asking for a favor? - jtaniel, Jan 8, 2016

Hello aromapandey,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

You asked for someone to check your Spanish article (text):

Este articulo se trata de una menor hispana que maten su madre y novio de su madre. Las víctimas fueron encontrados en una residencia publico. Es importante que tú recuerdes que chica tiene solamente quince anos. Ella había abusado usualmente. Después ella fue a fiesta en Times Asqueare. Para concluir, en Nueva York el 27 de Diciembre una menor hispana maten sus padres.

I would say: Este artículo se trata de una menor hispana que mata a su madre y al novio de su madre. Las víctimas fueron encontradas en una residencia pública. Es importante que recuerdes que esta chica solo tiene quince años. La abusaban con frecuencia. Después, (ella) fue a una fiesta en Times Asqueare. Para concluir, en Nueva York al 27 de Diciembre una menor hispana maten sus padres.

It would be very helpful if you could provide an English translation for your Spanish text, not only for this occasion but any time you would like people to check/proof-read your translations in future! wink :

Please read this next part very carefully! My understanding of what you have written in Spanish, is this:

This article is about (or deals with) a young hispanic girl that kills her mother and her mother's boyfriend. The victims were found in a public residence* (What exactly do you mean by these last 2 words*?) It is important that you remember that this girl is only fifteen years old.

The next part is unclear: did you mean/were you trying to say: she was regularly sexually abused /she was usually sexually abused? This is how I have understood it and translated it in this way from your Spanish, in the absence of any English translation provided by you! Later (or afterwards), she went to a party in Times Asqueare. To conclude, in New York on 27th December, a young hispanic girl kills her parents.

Warning and disclaimer: Please note that I am just an intermediate-level Spanish student, (although I take private classes in Skype with a Spanish native teacher from Spain) so I may have made some mistakes. I have done my best in the absence of any clear English translation of the text. Perhaps now you can understand and appreciate how important it is for you to provide this in future! (Native Spanish speakers on this site usually request an English translation of a text before trying to check/proofread Spanish texts written by English speakers! wink) smile

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

I hope this helps smile
