Can you help me with a few sentences please? Have put what I think it could be

[jonathanjcastle]

Haven't bothered with accents but would appreciate any help you can offer as to what the best way of saying each sentence is.

1. How has your day/week been?- que tal el dia/? que tal la semana?
2. My week has been very busy- mi semana ha estado muy ocupado?
3. I have had lots of meetings at work- he tenido muchas reuniones en el trabajo?
4. I played football at the weekend with my friends- jugue futbol con mis amigos en el fin de semana
5. I went to the cinema with my fiance and saw a good film- fui al cine con mi prometida, y vimos una pelicula muy buena. Se illama "American Sniper"
6. Have you heard of that film?- tu conozces esa pelicula?
7. Tonight, I went for dinner with some friends- Esta noche, fui a cenar con algunos amigos
8. I had calamari for starter and steak and lobster for the main course- tuve calamari de entrada y de segundo, entrecot de ternera y langosta
9. What food do you like?- que comida te gusta?
10. What have you been doing this week?- qué has estado haciendo esta semana

Hello! I'm from Spain, so I've written what I'd say. After some sentences I've written the explanation for it. Hope it is helpful. Bye!


1. How has your day/week been?- ¿Qué tal ha ido el día/la semana?
2. My week has been very busy- He estado muy ocupado esta semana
3. I have had lots of meetings at work- He tenido un montón de reuniones en el trabajo.
- A lot of: muchos/as
- Lots of: un montón, montones.
4. I played football at the weekend with my friends- Fui a jugar a fútbol con mis amigos el fin de semana.
- At the weekend: el fin de semana. you don't use a preposition.
5. I went to the cinema with my fiance and saw a good film- Fui al cine con mi prometida, y vimos una película muy buena. Se illama "American Sniper"
6. Have you heard of that film?- ¿Has oído hablar de esa película?
7. Tonight, I went for dinner with some friends- Anoche (last night?), fui a cenar con algunos amigos.
- If you are talking in past you should say "anoche" which means last night.
8. I had calamari for starter and steak and lobster for the main course- Pedí calamares de entrante, y, de segundo, entrecot de ternera y langosta.
- If you're talking about the menus or the food you ate last night, you can say "pedí" which is the past of "pedir": to order.
- Starter: entrante (o entrantes for the plural)
9. What food do you like?- ¿Qué tipo de comida te gusta?
10. What have you been doing this week?- ¿Qué has hecho esta semana?
- In Spanish we usually use the present perfect for that situation, instead of the present perfect continuous, although you can say it both ways.
