dibujo - masculine noun (el) - drawing. Look up dibujo in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/dibujo)

My six-year-old son makes some beautiful drawings.
The hyphens are necessary. Other than that, good job!

wow Crotalito, really? I would love to see one of his drawings! He might be an artist one day! You should see my older brother's drawings. He draws mostly animals, though, but he's really good. :)
And my little brother is 8 today!

so dibujar is drawing, the verb and dibujo is the drawing, the noun, and the yo form of dibujar?

[Rusty]

I think you understand the concept, Jessica, but just to make sure:

The verb dibujar means to draw.
¿Quieres dibujar algo? = Do you want to draw something?

If it's used as a noun, it is translated as drawing.
Dibujar en la pared se prohibe. = Drawing on the wall isn't allowed.

The noun dibujo means a drawing.
Muéstrame tu dibujo. = Show me your drawing.

If it's used as a verb, it is translated as I draw or I'm drawing.
Dibujo un rascacielos. = I'm drawing a skyscraper.
Dibujo bien. = I draw well.

yes I know that :) but thanks anyways. I will put this on my profile for reference.

[CrOtALiTo]

Thank you very much, I tried to make my text the best possible.

[Jessica]

yes you were so close! you did very good. just missing the hyphens, but it isn't a major error and you're really improving! Keep it up :)

[CrOtALiTo]
