¿Esto es correcto?

"Someone get me some food! I haven't eaten since last year"
"¡Que alguien me traiga algo de comer! No he comido desde el año pasado "

Gracias

Except for the missing periods (full stops) on the last sentence in each language, perfect!

"¿Es esto correcto?" is much more common.

I have other opinion.

Some one can get me some of food! I don't have eaten nothing since the last year!

I have added only the verb can and the verb don't likes do not.

Please Rusty correct me if that is necessary.

Crotalito, the English sentences were already given in the first post. These were followed by their Spanish translations. I said that both versions were perfect. In other words, there is little room for improvement.

What you wrote doesn't work. You cannot translate word-for-word and I don't know why you thought you needed to change anything. The original sentences given by the thread starter are perfect English.
