Good work, Lou Ann!! :applause:


She walked around singing to herself.
Ella andaba cantando cantándose a si misma.
Or "ella andaba cantando para sí"
However: I don't know in other countries, but "andar" in México can be understood as a synonym of "estar", so one would think your sentence would mean "she was around".
"Walked" would be better understood as "caminaba" or "andaba caminando y cantándose a sí misma". :)

The record continued playing. It was stuck.
El disco continuaba tocando.:good: Quedó pegado en el mismo lugar. :thumbsup: (That one has a bonus past participle thrown in for free....) :D

I will keep working. I want to learn to speak Spanish.
Seguiré trabajando. Quiero aprender a hablar español.

They come bringing gifts.
Ellos vienen trayendo regalos.

Thanks, Malila! I'm still appalled at how many "silly" mistakes I make. (No "p" in español? Ellos viene(n)?) DOH!
