I have to interview my teacher for spanish class tonight for mid-term, and I was wondering if someone could double check my grammar on the questions. If you are willing to help me out please just post an email address and i'll send them to you. It's mostly dealing with how to talk in the past. Thank you all so much. Mad

well here are the questions so far... keep in mind that my grammar is terrible...if you could just point out some mistakes it would greatly help. thank you so much.

Cuantos plazas tienes tu viviste?

Cual es tu favorito y por que?

Cuando hiciste moves a Arkansas?

Estuvo mucho diferente desde otro plazas tu viviste?

Cuando tu estuviste joven, tu estuviste fiero y loco o concentraste y (hard working)...haven't been able to translate that yet

that's the first half...still working on it.

1- � En cuantas plazas viviste ?

2- ( the second one is right )

3- � Cuando te mudaste a Arkansas ?

4- � Era muy diferente de la otra plaza donde viviste ?

5- Cuando eras joven, � eras fiero y loco o concentrado y trabajador ?

hey valencia, now THAT is a productive post :cheers:

one correction, redpixie320 has most likely translated the word "place" as "plaza" and that is not correct for the sentence she is using.

1) �En cu�ntos sitios (or "lugares") viviste? and more correct would be �En cu�ntos sitios (or "lugares") has vivido? (the "has vivido" is "have you lived") as in "how many places have you lived in?".

2) ok, may be petty but there are accent marks -->
�Cu�l es tu favorito y por qu�?

3) accents --> �Cu�ndo te mudaste a Arkansas?

4) �Era muy diferente a los otros sitios (or "lugares") donde viviste? or even better --> �Era muy distinto a los otros sitios (or "lugares") en los que viviste?

5- Cuando eras joven, �eras fiero y loco o concentrado y trabajador?

also redpixie320, is your teacher a man or a woman?

saludos,
jer...

I'm going to go ahead and write what I was trying to ask because I think a couple of these are way off.

1. What is the craziest thing you did when you were younger?
-Que es (the craziest) hecho tu hiciste cuando eras joven?

2. Did you ever want to be anything other than a Spanish teacher?
-Quisiste algo otro que un profesor de espanol?

3. Why did you choose Spanish as a profession?
-Por que tu escogiste espanol para un profesion?

4. How long have you been married?
-Cuantos anos tu tienes cassado?

5. What are your plans for spring break?
-Que estas tu plan por Spring Break?

I know they are really rough...you guys are so awesome for helping me out with all this. Much love--Misty
