Hmm, I'm not on vacation. :) Wish I was though. :(

I've been busy working on the forums and I haven't had time to post in them.

Not all of us are gone.


Here is what I would say instead of what you wrote:

Where is everybody?
=Where is everyone?
('Where are the people?' is a literal translation of ¿Dónde está la gente? La gente is a singular noun, but its literal English translation, people, is a plural noun. Everybody/Everyone is the singular noun that we commonly use, though, and it's a better translation of la gente in this case.)

There is almost nobody in the forums.
=There is almost no one in the forums.
=There is hardly anyone in the forums.
no people = no one/nobody

I'm thinking maybe everyone is on vacation.
=I think maybe everybody is on vacation.
de vacaciones = on vacation

I'm working like a dog while everyone else is on vacation.
(We don't use donkey in our idiom (modismo).)

Hey guys, where are you?
(Guys is more appropriate in this case. 'Hey you' would be considered rude.)
(Remember, questions have a different subject-verb order.)

Show yourselves.
(Reflexive form required, just like in Spanish.)

Crotalito,

You asked earlier in this thread about a web site that would teach you how to use the past perfect tense. Perhaps you'd be happy with a conjugator for now. I recommend this site (http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-english.html). The reason I suggest a conjugator is because there is a great number of irregular participles (the last part of the compound past perfect verb).

On this site you can type in any English infinitive, like go, talk, sing, and learn. Select the language of the infinitive you've typed (English), and click the 'conjugate' button.

The page that appears shows you a completely conjugated verb. You'll only need to find the correct entry that matches person and tense! If you want to see the negated form, type the word 'not' in front of the infinitive and press enter. If you'd like to see contractions, check the appropriate box.

If you've any questions, just ask.

Rusty
