I need help translating a text from english to spanish :)
Please help me correct it, I have to turn it in by friday I thought this one would be really simple, but I'm stuck in a lot of places. :/ So help me out please!!!
English: Pedro is seven years old, and his mother has a lot of problems with him. Spanish: Pedro tiene siete años, y su madre tiene muchas problemas con él. English: In the morning he's tired and doesn't want to get up. He doesn't like to shower, Spanish: Por la mañana él es cansado y no quiere levante. No le gusta regar.... English: ..and he doesn't want to go to the bathroom. He's not hungry in the morning, and he doesn't want to eat breakfast. Spanish: ...y él no quiere ir al baño. El no tiene hambre por la mañana y él no quiere desayune. English: Pedro doesn't like milk. He only drinks orange juice. When Pedro is going to school, Spanish: Pedro no le gusta leche. El sólo bebe jugo de naranja. Cuándo Pedro va a la escuela.... English: He's often in a hurry. Pedro takes the bus to school at 8 o'clock in the morning. Spanish: El es a menudo apurado. Pedro toma el autobús a la escuela a las ocho de la mañana. English: The first class starts at 8.30 and the last one ends are 13.30. Spanish: La primera clase empieza a las 8.30 y el último termina a las 13.30. English: Pedro is a good student, he's the best one in class. Spanish: Pedro es un estudiante bueno, él es el mejor en la clase. |

I agree with all of Rusty's suggestions. And to expound on "don't conjugate a verb that follows querer", you could actually say "don't conjugate a verb that follows another conjugated verb" (or in other words-- only one conjugated verb per clause)

Thanks a lot This is what I came up with, but I know there's still some mistakes in there... English: Pedro is seven years old, and his mother has a lot of problems with him. Spanish: Pedro tiene siete años, y su madre tiene muchos problemas con él. English: In the morning he's tired and doesn't want to get up. He doesn't like to shower, Spanish: Por la mañana él tiene cansado y no quiere levanten (?). No le gusta regar(?) English: ..and he doesn't want to go to the bathroom. He's not hungry in the morning, and he doesn't want to eat breakfast. Spanish: ...y él no quiere ir al baño. Él no tiene hambre por la mañana y no quiere desayunarse. English: Pedro doesn't like milk. He only drinks orange juice. When Pedro is going to school, Spanish: (missing something here?) Pedro no le gusta la leche. Él sólo bebe jugo de naranja. Cuando Pedro va a la escuela.... English: He's often in a hurry. Pedro takes the bus to school at 8 o'clock in the morning. Spanish: El es a menudo apurado. Pedro toma el autobús a la escuela a las ocho de la mañana. (I have no idea how to change the first sentence :S) English: The first class starts at 8.30 and the last one ends are 13.30. Spanish: La primera clase empieza a las 8.30 y la última termina a las 13.30. English: Pedro is a good student, he's the best one in class.
Spanish: Pedro es un estudiante bueno, él es el mejor de la clase. |

Today is father's day here, so I find myself generous
English: Pedro is seven years old, and his mother has a lot of problems with him. Pedro tiene siete años, y su madre tiene muchos problemas con él English: In the morning he's tired and doesn't want to get up. He doesn't like to shower, Spanish: Por la mañana él está cansado y no quiere levantarse. No le gusta ducharse English: ..and he doesn't want to go to the bathroom. He's not hungry in the morning, and he doesn't want to eat breakfast. ...y no quiere ir al baño. No tiene hambre por las mañanas y no quiere desayunar. Your translation is OK, I making it more general (por las mañanas.... no quiere desayunar) English: Pedro doesn't like milk. He only drinks orange juice. When Pedro is going to school, Spanish: A Pedro no le gusta la leche. Sólo bebe jugo/zumo de naranja. Cuando Pedro va a la escuela.... English: He's often in a hurry. Pedro takes the bus to school at 8 o'clock in the morning. siempre va con prisa. Pedro toma el autobús a la escuela a las ocho de la mañana. English: The first class starts at 8.30 and the last one ends are 13.30. La primera clase empieza a las 8.30 y la última termina a las 13.30. [/I][/LEFT] English: Pedro is a good student, he's the best one in class. Pedro es un buen estudiante, el mejor de la clase. (un estudiante bueno means a good-person student) PD: Sorry Rusty, I didn't read your last post and I'm too lazy to erase all
