En mi casa ideal, me gustaría tener tres pisos. Yo quiero la cocina grande, la sala de estar grande, y la sala grande. Yo quiero cinco baños y un dormitorio grande también. (I am going to live alone in this house >>> Yo vivo soló en estar casa?). Quiero (office) grande con (laptop) y el escritorio grande.

En mi casa ideal, me gustaría tener tres pisos.
Yo quiero la cocina grande, la sala de estar grande, y la sala grande. Did you want to say the or a in front of each object?
Yo quiero cinco baños y un dormitorio grande también.
Yo vivo soló en estar casa. What present tense verb can be used to express a future event? You're a girl, so you need to choose the form of alone that matches your gender (and check to see if there is an accent on it). The verb estar doesn't belong in the sentence.
Quiero (office) grande con (laptop) y el escritorio grande. There are several online dictionaries that give good translations for the words in parentheses. Did you want to say the or a in front of the object you listed? Make sure you choose the correct type (and gender) of article.

Hope that helps!

thanks for changing the title ^^ I can never think up of an appropriate title.

I want to correct you, only you need personality your gender beucause you are girls then you have set in the text Solo, and it's a wrong because you don't are man.

I will write again all the text corrected.

La casa de mi sueños es que tenga tres pisos, quiero que la cocina sea muy grande, y la sala tambien quiero que este grande, quiero 1 baño grande, y igual necesito que mi dormitorio esta grande como mi sala, yo vivere sola en la casa, quiero que tenga una oficina con una laptop, y un escritorio grande.


Look, I have changed many words of your text because, I gave it a little of hang, I know that you don't are a speaker native for me yes, then we speak with more hang in our way of express us, for which to your text almost has not hang in itself text.

[Jessica]

thanks for you help, CrOtALiTo, but some of the words, like sueños and vivere, I haven't learned yet. However, I know that vivere is a future tense of vivir. Thanks anyways

[Rusty]

Crotalito, you're using the word hang again. It still doesn't make any sense to us English speakers. What word in Spanish are you translating as hang?!?

[Jessica]

yes, Crotalito, what do you mean by using the word hang? Can you explain it?

Yes, Jessica, I hope you can correct the few problems you had with your homework without using the words you haven't been taught yet.

[Jessica]

Of course

[Rusty]

I see you've corrected a few of the errors. You're very close to making it perfect.

Look in a dictionary to see what gender oficina and laptop have. When I said that the verb estar doesn't belong in the sentence, I didn't mean to remove it (I think you meant to put another word there instead of estar).

[Jessica]

How about now? I still don't understand what you mean about the estar.

[Rusty]

Everything is perfect now, but you changed your original idea. Your original en estar casa phrase was supposed to be a translation of in this house. You removed estar because I said a verb didn't belong there. Put the word for this in the sentence to get back to your original idea. As it stands, the Spanish sentence you have works, but it isn't what you wanted to say originally. You also had a future tense in the original, which you've taken out.

[CrOtALiTo]

When I say the word hang, I want to say Sentido,


I told you that you need to give him hang to your own text.
Te dije que necesitas darle sentido a tu propio texto.

I know that meaning or hang both aren't the same.

Thanks!
Yep, meaning and hang aren't the same thing at all. That's why we couldn't understand what you were saying.

Sentido has many different meanings in Spanish, so it has many different meanings in English. The phrase you used has the following translation:
... darle sentido a ...
= ... to give (some) meaning to ...

Here are a few more ways to translate sentido into English.

sentido = meaning, as in el sentido de la vida (the meaning of life)
sentido = sense, as in no tiene sentido (it doesn't make sense)
sentido = sense, as in el sentido del tacto (the sense of touch)

[Jessica]

right meaning and hang aren't the same. why did you use it?

[CrOtALiTo]

Because I didn't know other word for Sentido. but Rusty has explained me that I can to use sence to say Sentido instead of hang, then when I need to say, you don't make sence in your porst, then I suppose that it's the way more correct, to say it.

Jessica, you did't make sence in your last post.

[Jessica]

I got it, don't worry

Jessica, you didn't make sense in your last post.
