Question

I have to talk about my neighborhood. Please help me proofread!

Yo vivo en el barrio de Bloomfield. Vivo en la misma calle que mis padres. Mi mejer amigo vive en la calle de enfrente. Mi calle no tiene muchos parking porque hay muchos gentes con carros. A cerca de mi casa puedes ver al parque Muchos gentes visitan el parque para sus mascotas. Mi barrio tiene Hospital En avenido de Liberty hay un tiendos de chino, tailandes, japones, y italiano. En ese avenido, hay muchas semiforos, entonces existe traifico. En la esquina hay una gasolinera para carros.

Thanks once again

Answer 1

This is not a thorough proofreading, just a few things I noticed skimming your paragraph:

"Mejer" means "meal." The word you want is "mejor." "Tiendo" means "sting." The word for "store" is "tienda" and since there are more than one you need "las tiendas." The Spanish word for "stoplights" is "semáforo," (noet the accent mark as well as the spelling), not "semiforos."

Someone will probably come along with more corrections shortly.

I think although the spelling is wrong the plural usage is still ok for "semáforos." A set of traffic lights would be "semáforo" singular, but many sets should be "muchos semáforos." At least, I think :) - jellonz, Apr 1, 2017

Answer 2

Adding to Ann, your "Mi calle no tiene muchos parking porque hay muchos gentes con carros" has a few issues. It reads as "My street doesn't have much parking because there are many people with cars" which seems illogical. Perhaps you meant to say "pero - but" instead of "porque"? Also I don't think "gente" is commonly pluralised, and if it were then "muchas" not "muchos." I'd replace that with "muchas personas." I don't know if "parking" is used in Spanish, but if not you could use "muchos lugares para estacionar."

There are a few other issues elsewhere. Have a go at rewriting your piece given the suggestions made and I'm sure someone will help further.
