Please help correcting these short texts

Hello,

Please help me correcting these texts if they need correction


  1. El año pasado los Pérez estuvieron en el extranjero por primera vez. Ellos ni hablan ni entienden inglés, pero a pesar de esto, conocieron mucha gente.
  2. Tengo una casa pequeña en el campo. Usualmente la alquilo a los turistas extranjeros, sin embargo,el próximo verano pienso en quedarme ahí por unas semanas.
  3. Te pedí que no revelaras mi secreto a nadie, pero se lo contaste enseguida a tu hermana. Si hubiera sabido que no podías guardar un secreto, no te lo habría contado.
  4. Anita y yo nos sentamos en una cafetería media hora y durante todo este tiempo habló de su nuevo novio. “ Es muy rico”, decía Anita, pero yo sabía que no era cierto.
  5. Ellos me contaron lo que pasó pero quiero que tú me cuentes todo lo que sabes sobre el asunto.
  6. Es afortunado que mi compañera de viaje hable tantos idiomas.

There are two mistakes in number 1, both in the second sentence. If you can't find them without them being marked, let me know.

Other than that your sentences are great.

Yes, you fixed one of the mistakes. I've marked the other one.

Is this correct? Was the other mistake for "eso" instead of "esto" or the "conocieron mucha gente" ---> "conocieron A mucha gente" ?

The other mistake was the missing personal 'a', which is now missing again. You know what to fix.

You can use 'eso' or 'esto' in your sentence. It doesn't really matter in this case.
