@kewlgeek555 can you help?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

You have to reply to these, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but I don't know what they mean. Google translate only gives the literal meaning

Okay. How old are you? Do you have a big or small family? How id your family?* Do you have siblings? If so, what are their names? How old is your mom or dad? *This third questions is asking you how your family usually is in general. For example, you can say your family is serious (son serios) or you can say that they are fun (son divertidos). You know that the question is asking you your family is in general because it uses "como ES tu familia?". if it would be "Como ESTA tu familia", then it would be "How is your family doing?" and you could say sick, sad, happy, etc.. Hope I didn't confuse you. cx What I want you to do: The process I use for my askers to answer these questions is longer, but more efficient. I want you to, please answer these questions in English, then try your very best to translate your sentences into Spanish. Remember to use simple sentences/answers. Once you have translated it to your best, you can post it here and I will make any corrections if needed. You'll see that by doing this, you'll understand the Spanish language a lil' better. c;
