Hi! I'm Francisco, and I'm a 23-year-old Spanish native speaker from Uruguay (near Argentina and Brazil). I would like to improve my English and meet interesting people from all over the world. Apart from being a Spanish native speaker, I know a few things about grammar, and my orthography is flawless. I'd like to do the exchange via Skype.

    'No debió haberlo hecho' and 'no debió hacerlo' mean the same. 1 is correct: 'he shouldn't have done it'. 'He did not have to do it' would be 'no debía hacerlo'. By the way, both sentences could be said about a female or about a male: it's third person singular; apart from that, we don't know anything about the subject.

    Lo que hice hoy

    Esta mañana hice café y llevé a mi hijo a la escuela. Fui al banco para abrir una cuenta para mi negocio. Hice un poco de trabajo en Starbucks. Limpié mi casa. Jugué con mi gata. Cociné la pasta para el almuerzo. Cogí a mi hijo de la escuela. Ahora me voy a caminar hasta el parque.

    This way it sounds better, because you were changing your tenses for no apparent reason. "He hecho", since you're talking about something that happened today, is okay, but it sounds really awkward when the rest of the sentences are all in another tense, and you're also talking about things that happened today. "Cocinaba" is like "I was cooking" in English; it is what we call co-preterite, which means it coexists with a preterite: it specifies something that was happening when something else (probably more relevant) took place. For instance, you could say "mientras cocinaba, llamaron a la puerta" (while I was cooking, they knocked on the door). Apart from that, I think it's some pretty decent writing.
