Question ¿Qué hiciste durante las vacaciones?

January journal. ¿Qué hiciste durante las vacaciones? What did you do during vacation? Sra said it didn't have to be winter vacation. But I will do what I did during my winter vacation anyways.

Just like the December's journal, I will write this one by one.

Durante las vacaciones del invierno, ayudamos la casa. Yo limpié el baño cerca de mi dormitorio.

Check for errors in these sentences please. when you do I will write more and you know what you must do.

Durante las vacaciones del invierno, ayudamos la casa. Yo limpié el baño cerca de mi dormitorio. Mis hermanos arreglaron sus dormitorios. Mis padres arreglaron su dormitorio y limpiaron los baños. Luego mi madre fue a la farmacia y al supermercado.

Please check for errors.

Let me telling you have made a great job in your translation in this post, but anyhow, you made it up some mistakes, but there were very minimal mistakes, then I will correct you now.


D you will ask yourself? Why I putted the word limpiar instead of arreglar. It's easy understand, I putted the word Limpiar, because that word is more accurate in itself expression, look, the word arreglar is more refer when someone is fixing something, for example some device, a car or anything, then if you are putting the word arreglar, in my own understanding you are wanting to say, your parents is fixing their room.

I hope you can understand my own words expressed here.

If you have some questions above my own corrections, please let me know, and I will be glad of explain you the corrections above this.


Durante las vacaciones del invierno, ayudamos la casa. Yo limpié el baño cerca de mi dormitorio. Mis hermanos limpiaron sus dormitorios. Mis padres limpiaron su dormitorio y limpiaron los baños. Luego mi madre fue a la farmacia y al supermercado.

Please check for errors.

Good job! Crotalito mentioned changing arreglar to limpiar, but I agree with the way it was written. We usually straighten up our rooms (arreglar) and clean bathrooms (limpiar). However, if your room is a mess, it's best to limpiarlo.

You probably haven't learned it yet, but asear may also be used if you want to vary the wording a bit.

Yes, but I believe that sound better the word clean than straighten up.
