Help with this story using the preterito/imperfecto

Help! I wrote this story using the Preterito/imperfect,need to know if it makes sense

Especíal Hija

Hace mucho años, había una hija quién era especíal! Ella nombre era Gaviota. Gaviota tenía uno regalo que nadie conoció sobre. Su familia eran un desastre. Sus madre y padre estaban nunca en casa. Su niñera atendía a Gaviota casi siempre, desde era una bebé. Gaviota se amaba con todo corazón. Su niñera estaba el primero a encontrar la fuerza Gaviota tuvó. Cuando ella tenía tres años, algo estraño occurió. Su niñera (Ana) estaba concinando en la cocina, y oía Gaviota riendo en su silla alta para niños. Ana buscó, pero veía nada. Bruscamente, Maria (el madre) caminó en. Actualmente, estaba corriendóse. Cuando ella venía en la cocina, no ve Ana caminando a la mesa con un grande plato de espaguetis. Se chocaron, y el espaguetis cayó en camisa blanca de Maria. Despues, Ana buscó en Gaviota y veía sonriendóse. Era casi como se conoció el incidente antes de occurió. Durante el años cuando Gaviota era joven, cosas como este occurió frecuentemente.También, sólo Ana notó. Cuando Gaviota tenía doce años, a Ana dijó que podría ver el futuro. Ana le piensa que se dija la verdad. Entonces, a Ana dijó ,"por favor, duermes aquí anoche. El carretera a tu casa es no seguro." En la manana, había una noticia en la televisión que dijó una carretera estaba destruyó. El carretera era el uno que Ana viajo. Ana estaba agobiada, disgustada, y feliz mas. Abrazó y besó Gaviota. Continuaba salvar los gentes que se entiendieron, pero cuando tenia treinta años, Sus padres murieron en una fuega en su casa. Tu crees que conocía? Nunca respondió se lo pregunta, pero sólo sonrió.

Hi,

Welcome to the forums!

Sorry to say, but the story you wrote wouldn't make any sense to someone who doesn't understand both English and Spanish. It has many errors.

In this forum, we can help you to get the story right. This will take several hours of your (and our) time to get it right. Are you up to learning a lot of Spanish in the process?

yes, except i feel like i know what im talking about, i just dont have the correct use of imperfect or preterite. It has to make some sense at least. I dont see how a couple hours it would take me to learn it, Im minoring at college in spanish and take it every day for an hour so i just need quicker help since i have this paper due tomorrow.

I wouldn't be satisfied with quick help if I were you. Your paper will not make sense if only the verbs are corrected.
The preterite and imperfect tenses are a popular topic in our forums. All the rules for selecting the correct tense can be found within them. I suggest taking some time to familiarize yourself with the rules. This will help you more than any quick help.

The least of your problems is the pretérito/imperfecto thing. Most of them are more or less well placed. But most sentences use wrong pronouns, have wrong pronominals and there are plenty of mistakes with gender and number agreements. I also doubt you can do this for tomorrow.
