3. How many computers are there in the class? ¿Cuántos hay las computadoras en la clase? the adjective cuanto agrees in gender and number with the noun - the verb doesn't go between the adjective and the noun

4. The clock is on the wall near the map. El reloj está en la pared cerca de (missing something here) mapa.

6. I always get good grades in geometry. Siempre saco las buenas notas en la geometría.

7. For algebra class, we have to do problems 1-10 on page 20. Para el álgebra, tengo que hacer los problemas 1 a 10 de la página 10. <-- typo

11. French and German are two languages that we can study at NAI. El francés y el alemán son dos idiomas que podemos estudiar a NAI.

13. The school day starts at 7:26 and ends at 2:20. El día de escuela empieza a las siete (missing something here) y termina a las dos y veinte. If your textbook says día de escuela, go ahead and use it, but I would use other phrases.

14. (missing something here) iPods are permitted in the cafeteria. iPods son permitidos en la cafetería. If your textbook uses this, go ahead. I would use the 'passive se' structure.

15. (missing something here) iPods are prohibited in the classrooms. iPods están prohibidos en las clases. If your textbook uses this, go ahead. I would use the 'passive se' structure. Why the change in verb?

16. We have to turn in our Spanish homework. Tenemos que convertir la tarea de español.

19. Spanish is my favorite subject. El español es mi clase de favorito.
Hints given.

3. ¿Cuántas hay las computadoras en la clase? verb still misplaced, and when it is correct there will be a word to remove


4. El reloj está en la pared cerca de la mapa. check gender of map


6. Siempre saco buenas notas en la geometría.


7. I can't find the typo. The last number contains it.


11. El francés y el alemán son dos idiomas que podemos estudiar en NAI. correct preposition, now the acronym needs an article (or throw out the acronym and use la escuela/el colegio)


13. El día de escuela empieza a las siete y veintiseis y termina a las dos y veinte.


14. On my homework, there is nothing before iPods. there should be - all nouns need something before them when they begin a sentence (unless the noun is a proper name)


15. On my homework, there is nothing before iPods. there should be
iPods son prohibidos en las clases.
16. Tenemos que canjear (???) la tarea de español. use the verb that means give back, return


19. El español es mi clase favorita.
More hints.

14. 15. Oh do you mean capitalization? Nope, I mean the same type of word that precedes the subject in sentences 4, 5, 11, 13, and 19.
16. Tenemos que restar la tarea de español.
For 16, keep looking for the verb that means to turn in (it isn't in Tomísimo's dictionary ). Try a search in Google. You already know the words for homework (la tarea), and you know an English equivalent. So, you can try this:
"la tarea" "turn in your homework"
(Make sure you convert the imperative form into an infinitive, when you learn what it is.)

about the iPods, there were no "the" before them on my homework. I guess it's just my teacher's mistake.

I hope you include the article. This might help your teacher to see her/his mistake, and you'll both have learned something.
Which article would you use (there are four to choose from - masculine or feminine, singular or plural)?

wait wouldn't it make more sense to say "iPods are permitted..." because it's a general rule...
