Question

I need to translate these fluently. I have a lot of sentences so I'll keep it basic.
I make my...
I run...
I clean my...
I eat...
I study...
I read...
I skateboard...
I play piano...
I draw...
I take a...
I sleep...

I have a couple of ending that I would to translate fluently also.
...to feel good.
...to be healthy.
...to feel better.
...to get good grades.
...to relax.

Answer 1

Do you know what it means to "conjugate" a verb?

Answer 2

yes. I use some Spanish verb charts on Google.

Answer 3

Can you do it on your own?

Answer 4

I suppose. What do I start the sentences with? Do I use Yo?

Answer 5

Since all of the sentences start with "I,"
yes, we would need to use the Yo form of whichever verb we choose.

Answer 6

for the verb run, instead of saying Yo corro, I just use Corro?

Answer 7

Both are correct.

Answer 8

oh ok
How about the ending of the sentences?

Answer 9

Whatever ending you want.

Answer 10

I just used google translate for "to feel good" and it gave me "para sentirse bien." How would I know if it is in present state and that it is fluent with the sentence?

Answer 11

"To be healthy" is just "sentirse bien."

That's the infinitive verb. We need to conjugate it.

Be careful. It's also a reflexive verb.

Answer 12

And stem-changing.

Answer 13

Let me look up the "healthy" verb in spanish. I want to see if I could find the right one to use. I need to get this all the way.

Answer 14

"Sentirse bien" is perfectly fine.

It literally means "to feel well."

Spanish speakers use it to mean "to feel healthy."

Answer 15

how would I know which words to exclude? This would be helpful to know.

Answer 16

What do you mean by "exclude"?

Answer 17

You mean from your Google Translate results?

Answer 18

How did you know to exclude the extra word para in para sentirse bien?

Answer 19

Are you taking a Spanish class?

Answer 20

I know to exclude "para" because I learned Spanish without using Google Translate, and I'm familiar with the grammar and vocabular.

Answer 21

The word "para" means "in order to."

It's usually followed by an infinitive verb.

Answer 22

"Para sentirse bien" literally means "in order to feel good."

If you're just looking for the meaning of "to feel healthy,"
we just need to know "sentirse bien."

Answer 23

For the sentence "I run to be healthy." I start the sentence by using Yo corro para ser saludable. Is everything correct in this sentence?

Answer 24

Yo corro para ser saludable.

Answer 25

Sure, that's fine.

Answer 26

I'm going to try another sentence.

Answer 27

Are you part of a Spanish class? Or are you trying to learn Spanish on your own?

Answer 28

I have a spanish class except I didn't really study. I just need to know some good tips in writing sentences because I don't think google translate translates correctly.

Answer 29

You think correctly. It doesn't. Not always.

Answer 30

I got caught once, I don't want that to happen again

Answer 31

We can use Google Translate to translate single words. Like a dictionary. That's okay.

But it's not always good at forming entire sentences.

Answer 32

ok, that is good to know. The sentence I'm trying to form is: I play piano to relax.

Answer 33

Try to think of it this way:

I play the piano in order to relax.

Answer 34

Ok I'll try that.

Answer 35

Yo juego piano.....

Answer 36

We actually say "Yo toco el piano."

Answer 37

It literally means "I touch the piano."

That's how Spanish speakers say "to play (an instrument)."

Answer 38

"Jugar" is more for games and sports.

Answer 39

oh ok

Answer 40

what is the verb for relax?

Answer 41

In the infinitive form, it's "relajarse."

Answer 42

That's the neutral infinitive form though.

There are many kinds.

Answer 43

Relajarme

Relajarte

Relajarse

Relajarnos

Answer 44

I see that and I don't know which is the right one to use. How would I know?

Answer 45

You're trying to say "I play the piano in order to relax."

Question: Who are you relaxing?

Answer: Yourself.

So, we would say "relajarme."
It literally means "to relax myself."

Answer 46

Would you like to go through a lesson on reflexive verbs?

Answer 47

would relajo be suitable for the sentence?

Answer 48

no.

Answer 49

why?

Answer 50

Let me show you the translation.

"I play the piano in order to relax."

"Yo toco el piano para relajarme."

Answer 51

Are you familiar with the word "para" now?

It means "in order to."

Answer 52

yes

Answer 53

After the word "para,"
we ALWAYS need to use an infinitive verb. ALWAYS

Answer 54

what tense is that going to be? yo, tú, Ud./él/ella, nosotros, vosotros, or Uds./ellos/ellas

Answer 55

Yo.

Answer 56

because I am talking about myself

Answer 57

Right.

Answer 58

What does infinitive verb mean? Sorry, I don't understand all the way.

Answer 59

Infinitive verbs are verbs that begin with the word "to."

Here are some examples:

Hablar -- to speak

Dibujar -- to draw

Comer -- to eat

Beber -- to drink

Ser -- to be

Answer 60

I believe that creating a correct sentence is all in the verb choosing.

Answer 61

Yes. In all European languages, a proper sentence needs to have two things:


1. A subject
2. A verb that matches the subject

Answer 62

ok got that
You're the best. :)

Answer 63

Thank you so much

Answer 64

De nada. No es un problema.

Answer 65

Would you like to work on the list that you posted? At the very top.

Answer 66

I have a very huge list. Actually it is a list of 12 activities I do each day and four sentences for each activity.

Answer 67

We can use a part of that list, to learn basic sentence structure.

Answer 68

could be do like two activities together?

Answer 69

Which activities do you mean?

Answer 70

Like doing my bed and running.

Answer 71

Okay.

Answer 72

Would you know how to say...."I make my bed, and I run" ?

Answer 73

For the bed activity. My first sentence has to be like I make my bed everyday.

Answer 74

Okay.

Answer 75

First start with the subject.

In this case: "Yo."

Answer 76

next is the verb make

Answer 77

Yes. We have to conjugate it, to match the subject.

Answer 78

hacer

Answer 79

Yes.

Answer 80

yo hago?

Answer 81

Yes.

Answer 82

"Yo hago..."

"I make..."

Answer 83

Yo hago cama

Answer 84

whose bed are you making?

Answer 85

How would I say that?

Answer 86

mi?

Answer 87

"Yo hago mi cama."

"I make my bed."

Answer 88

Yes.

Answer 89

ok so "Yo hago mi cama

Answer 90

"I make my bed everyday."

Do you know how to say "everyday"?

Answer 91

I'm thinking

Answer 92

no I don't, I saw it in my lesson once though. I know it's there. I can't find it.

Answer 93

"todos los dias."

Answer 94

that is what it was.

Answer 95

ok so Yo hago mi cama todos lo dias

Answer 96

los**

Answer 97

And yes, that's right.

Answer 98

Yo hago mi cama todos lo días.
Is that correct?
