Homework Help I have some homework from my Spanish class that I need a little help with corrections and a few things I am not sure on. We are learning present progressive, direct object pronouns, and there is a section on pensar/pensar que, conocer/conocer and preterite. I have to translate the sentences based on the section we are learning. Section 1: Present Progressive 1. "I am eating chocolate and cookies." Translation: "Estoy comiendo chocolate y galletas." 2. "I am talking to my friend." Translation: "Estoy hablando con mi amigo." Section 2: conocer/conocer a 1. "I know Mrs. Bird." Translation: "Conozco (a/la) Señora Bird." I wasn't sure if I needed the personal a here in this case, or many times I hear "la" before names; e.g. "la Señora Bird." So I am not quite sure on that sentence. 2. "She is familiar with Provo." Translation: "Ella conoce Provo." I am assuming there is no "con" for "with" because conocer sort of puts those together, if I am correct. I am not sure if I need anything different, such as "el" or "la" between "conozco" and "Provo." Section 3: Preterite 1. "I celebrated Hanukkah in December." Answer: "Celebré (la/el) Hanukkah en diciembre." Not sure about the article or not. 2. "I invited Antonio Banderas to my birthday." Answer: "Invité (a) Antonio Banderas a mi cumpleaños." I am not sure whether to use the personal a or not in this case either. I am assuming I should use it. ? Section 4: Direct Object Pronouns 1. "Did you decorate the house? Yes, I decorated it." Answer: "¿Decoras la casa? Sí, la decoré." 2. "Do you eat bread? Yes, I eat it." Answer: ¿Comes pan? Sí, lo como." Section 5: pensar/pensar que 1. "I think soccer is fun." Answer: "Pienso que (el) fútbol es divertido." Not sure whether to include "el" or not. 2. "I am planning to visit my uncle for Christmas." Answer: "Estoy pensando (a) visitar (a) mi tío para/por (la) Navidad." This was the most confusing of all of them. I think you need an "a" to connect the two verbs at the beginning, and the personal a for "mi tío," and I am not sure whether to use "por vs para." Also, I wasn't sure whether to use "la Navidad" or just simply "Navidad." Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!
