Spanish simple sentences help

[ctilbrook]

I have recently began adult evening classes to learn Spanish. I like to practice throughout the week between the classes. However, I don't know if what I am writing is 100% accurate, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the below, they are very simple sentences about 'the family'. I have highlighted the words in red I am not 100% sure if they are needed or correct.

Mi madres camarera. Ella es se llama Jane.

Tus hermanos son ingleses. Ellos son medicos.

Mis hermanas son mecanico y cantante. - (not sure if this is the correct way to say both of their jobs?)

Mis padres son se llaman Glenn y Jane. Glenn es mecanico y Jane es enfermera.

Tu sobrina es se llama Rachel. Ella es mexicana.

Mi hijo es pintor. Ello es se llama John. John es ingles.

Tu eres profesor. Tu se llama Ana.

Mi esposa se llama Sophie. Es camerera. El padre de Sophie es mecanico. El se llama Barry.

Any help is much appreciated! Gracias!

Don't know what the words in red are suppose to be, all of them are both unnecessary and wrong.

You can say

This is John (Éste es John). His name is John (Se llama John -su nombre es John-). He is called John (Se llama John -le dicen John-)

Su nombre es John pero todos le dicen Jack.

"Mis hermanas son, una mecánica y la otra cantante".

The masculine pronoun is Él, not Ello (Ello means "it" and it's rarely used)

Thank you for your comments. Looks like I was well off then. I have revised what I first wrote, and what they are supposed to translate to. Are these correct now?

Mi madres es camarera. Se llama Jane. / My mother is a waitress. She is called Jane.

Tus hermanos son ingleses. Son medicos. / Your brothers are english. They are doctors.

Mis hermanas son, una mecanica y la otra cantante. / My sisters are a mechanic and the other a singer.

Mis padres se llaman Glenn y Jane. Glenn es mecanico y Jane es enfermera. / My parents are called Glenn and Jane. Glenn is a mechanic and Jane is a waitress.

Tu sobrina se llama Rachel. Es mexicana. / Your niece is called Rachel. She is mexican.

Mi hijo es pintor. Se llama John. John es ingles. / My son is a painter. His name is John. John is english.

Tu eres profesor. Tu se llama Ana. / You are a teacher. You are called Ana.

Mi esposa se llama Sophie. Es camerera. El padre de Sophie es mecanico. El se llama Barry. / My wife is called Sophie. She is a waitress. The father of Sophie is a mechanice. He is called Barry

I will be grateful for any further analysis.

Much better, but there are still errors. Don't forget that not using an accent mark where needed is the same thing as misspelling a word. I've marked the words that need to be corrected.

Una de mis hermanas es, una mecanica y la otra cantante. / One of my sisters is a mechanic and the other a singer.

Mis padres se llaman Glenn y Jane. Glenn es mecanico y Jane es enfermera. / My parents are called Glenn and Jane. Glenn is a mechanic and Jane is a waitress.

Tu sobrina se llama Rachel. Es mexicana. / Your niece is called Rachel. She is mexican.

Mi hijo es pintor. Se llama John. John es ingles. / My son is a painter. His name is John. John is english.

Tu eres profesor. Tu se llama Ana. / You are a teacher. You are called Ana. (Because Ana is female, you need to use a feminine subject complement. And because you're using a second-person subject pronoun, you need to conjugate 'llamarse' accordingly.

Mi esposa se llama Sophie. Es camerera. El padre de Sophie es mecanico. El se llama Barry. / My wife is called Sophie. She is a waitress. The father of Sophie is a mechanice. He is called Barry

Ok, thanks for your help - is the below now correct other than the accent marks I am missing?

Mi madre es camarera. Se llama Jane.

Tus hermanos son ingleses. Son medicos.

Una de mis hermanas es mecanica y la otra cantante.

Mis padres se llaman Glenn y Jane. Glenn es mecanico y Jane es enfermera.

Tu sobrina se llama Rachel. Es mexicana.

Mi hijo es pintor. Se llama John. John es ingles.

Tu eres profesora. Te llaman Ana.

Mi esposa se llama Sophie. Es camerera. El padre de Sophie es mecanico. Se llama Barry.



Also... with:

Mi esposa se llama Sophie. Es camerera. El padre de Sophie es mecanico. Se llama Barry.

Does 'mecanico' stay as it is 'Barry' (masculine) is a mechanic or does it change to 'mecanica' because it is 'Sophie's' (feminine) father who is the mechanic?

[Rusty]

Just a few more changes and you've got it.

There's an "Accents" drop-down menu just above where you type. From it, you can select all the Spanish characters you'll need.

The adjective 'mecánico' always agrees in number and gender with its antecedent (the noun it modifies/characterizes). In this case, it is 'Barry'.

Congratulations!

[pinosilano]

Tú eres profesora. Te llaman Ana.

Es tan usado que no sé si es incorrecto.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@Pino: No es incorrecto, pero no es la conjugación que está practicando ctilbrook.

Thanks.
