My question was "In your family, who does the cooking, who sets the table and who washes the dishes." My answer is suppose to be in Spanish. I tried as well as I could. Please help me and see if I did this correctly. En mi familia, mi novio tiene la cocina, nuestros hijos y yo poner la mesa y hacer los platos. I'm trying to say, "In my family, my boyfriend does the cooking, our kids and I set the table and do the dishes."

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

well you are incorrect im sorry the correct way to say that would be En mi familia mi novio es el que cocina mientras que nuestros hijos y yo vamos preparando la mesa y despues fregamos los platos.

oh wow, I really messed that up.. thank you very much!!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

or you could also say En mi familia el que cocina es mi novio, mientras nuestros hijos me ayudan a preparar la mesa y a fregar los platos. (or you could also say lavar los platos)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

no problem I know for a fact that going from english to spanish or vise versa is a challenge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, very challenging and seems impossible to understand this language! lol

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

haha yeah I had to go from spanish to english and it was not fun specially because there are way to write verbs or subject in spanish that are extremely difficult and hard to understand in english

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

the order is what is mainly different though

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):
