Question

I need help in Spanish I dont exactly know how to reply to the questions.

Answer 1

Can you show us one of the questions?

Answer 2

Sacas buenas notas o sacas mala notas en escuela,

Sorry for spelling errors

Answer 3

Don't worry. There weren't any spelling mistakes in that sentence.

Okay so first we need to know what the question is asking.

Here's one thing we need to know:
"Sacar buenas notas" means "to get good grades."

The verb in there is "sacar."
It's an infinitive verb.

Do you know how to conjugate Spanish verbs?

Answer 4

sorta

Answer 5

Okay. We do need to know how to conjugate.

I'm not gonna do the homework for you. I should have said that ahead of time.

BUT I can teach you how to conjugate Spanish verbs, if you want to. Right now.

Answer 6

Yes please!(:

Answer 7

Alright.

The verb SACAR means "to take out."

When we say "sacar buenas notas,"
it literally means "to take out good grades."

It's weird. I know. Bear with me.

Let's look at SACAR.

You see the last two letters? AR

Answer 8

yes,

Answer 9

Every time we conjugate a verb, we first need to take out the last two letters.

So we take away the AR.

SACAR turns into.....SAC

Answer 10

Sac as in to take?

Answer 11

Nope nope. We're not finished yet.

Sacar means "to take."

We're changing it now.

Answer 12

"Sacar" means "to take."

But what if we wanna say...."I take."

Or...."You take."

Or..."He takes."

Or..."We take."

Answer 13

We need to change "sacar" into another form, in order to change what we want to say. You know?

Answer 14

Yes, like estoy would be estas for Tu and esta for usted ella and el?

Answer 15

Right!

Answer 16

Those words you just listed....Estoy...Estas...Esta....

They're all different forms of "estar."

We change it, in order to say what we wanna say.

Answer 17

So now....we need to know how to get all the different forms of "sacar."

Answer 18

Okay so Step 1.

Take off the last two letters.

SACAR turns into SAC

Answer 19

Here are all the different forms of Sacar.

Ready?

(Yo) SACO

(Tu) SACAS

(El/Ella) SACA

(Nosotros) SACAMOS

(Ellos/Ellas) SACAN

Answer 20

Wait so for ar verbs you would take the ar off and add a o for yo, as for tu and so on?

Answer 21

Yes!

Answer 22

You got it.

Answer 23

O.o oh my lanta. Thank you so so much

Answer 24

We started with SAC.

And we added ....

O for (Yo). SACO

AS for (Tu). SACAS

A for (El/Ella). SACA

AMOS for (Nosotros). SACAMOS

AN for (Ellos/Ellas). SACAN.

Answer 25

No problema.

So...here's a question..

Do you know what these words mean?

Yo
Tu
El
Ella
Nosotros
Ellos

Answer 26

I you he her they them(male)

Answer 27

Right. That's right.

So, "yo saco" means "I take out."

And "Tu sacas" means "You take out."

You get it so far?

Answer 28

Yep!

Answer 29

Okay. So let's look at the first part of the question, that you posted in the beginning.

"Sacas buenas notas."

Do you know what that means?

Answer 30

You take out good notes ..?

Answer 31

It literally means "You take out good grades."

But in Spanish, it means more like "You get good grades."

Answer 32

Okay! so then sacas mala notas means you take...sad notes?

Answer 33

Mala means "bad."

Answer 34

Ohhhhhh oh geez

Answer 35

Bad grades.

"Sacas malas notas."
"You get bad grades."

Get it?

Answer 36

Yep!

Answer 37

Okay.

Here's our sentence..."Sacas buenas notas."

It means....."You get good grades."

BUT....what if we put a question mark at the end?

"Sacas buenas notas?"

Answer 38

you get good grades?

Answer 39

Now it means...."DO YOU get good grades?"

Answer 40

Pretty much.

Answer 41

awesome!

Answer 42

Okay.

So here's the whole sentence:

"Sacas buenas notas o sacas mala notas en escuela?"

Answer 43

Are there any words in that sentence you don't know yet?

Answer 44

do you get good grades or do you get bad grades in school?

other then mala haha nope

Answer 45

Right.

So now...you wanna respond to that question.

You could either say..."I get good grades."

Or...."I get bad grades."

It's your choice.

Answer 46

Do you remember which form of "sacar" means "I take out"?

Answer 47

Yo sacas

Answer 48

We add an O for the (Yo) form. Remember?

Answer 49

AS is for the (Tu) form.

Answer 50

oh yes

Answer 51

So, it's not "Yo sacas."

Answer 52

yo saco

Answer 53

Right. Yo saco.

So, that's how we should start the response, to the question.

Answer 54

"Yo saco......"

Answer 55

yo saco buenas notas.

Answer 56

Perfect.

Answer 57

You mentioned it before....

with verbs that end with AR,
we just take off the AR,
and add a new ending, in order to change what we want to say.

Answer 58
