Help with Spanish phrases.
Hi! I've got an assignment for my virtual Spanish class and I've attempted these sentences several times. I've used several different translating sites and software but none have given me the correct translations. I've attempted this assignment about 12 times, and each time i fail because of these certain sentences. If someone could help translate these correctly for me that could be great! "One must take notes in Spanish class." "One must write in English class." "One must speak Spanish in Spanish class." "One must make good grades." Thank you in advance!

Virtual (or computer) classes do not allow for variation. As I said in my comment, there are several ways to do this. If you don't do it EXACTLY like the example given you, it will be marked as wrong.
You can use "deber" as in "Uno debe saca apuntes" Se debe sacar apuntes (take notes)
You can use "Hay que" or Se necesita. See if you can find the example or "modelo" given in your instruction material, and follow that exactly. Come back here with the example and your answers based on the example and we will check them for you.
NOTE: Some computer programs might not even like "sacar apuntes" for taking notes.
Your last sentence has "make good grades" In Spanish there are two ways I know of to say that. "Sacar buenas notas" and Sacar buenas calificaciones. If you don't put the one they want it will be marked wrong.
It seems the your "hay que" is all right, however, there are several vocabulary and grammar errors.
(1) Hay que sacar apuntes en la clase de español.
(2) Hay que escribir in la clase de inglés.
(3) Hay que hablar español en la clase de español.
(4) Hay que sacar buenas notas ----looks good to me. Maybe they want "calificaciones."
Try these. If they don't work, we'll try other synonyms.
