You've used the correct structure for expressing Hidalgo's age, but since you're trying to express something that occurred in the past, the verb must be conjugated in one of the past tenses (Spanish has two past tenses).
Since Hidalgo has been established as the subject, there's no need to use the subject pronoun él in the adverbial clause, and the verb you chose doesn't mean 'to become' (it also needs to be conjugated in one of the past tenses).
If you haven't learned the past tenses, why is this sentence in your homework?!?
The article is incorrect.
2. He is the father of Mexico .
Él es el padre de México. 
3. His speech, "Grito de Dolores", helped many people.
Su discurso, “Grito de Dolores”, ayuda (missing something here) mucha gente.
This sentence has a past-tense verb in it. Why is it your homework?!? |
Read what I wrote above. There are a couple of things that need some work.
The biggest problem is that you haven't used the proper past tenses. If you haven't learned these yet, you should not have been given homework that contains them (IMHO).
