Answer:

Hello Mariamars,

You said:

I'm suppose to describe a surprise party using past tense and imperfect verbs but I'm not sure how I can use imperfect verbs. Does this paragraph makes sense? Le di a mi hermana una fiesta sorpresa! ¡Es mi mejor amiga! ¡La fiesta de cumpleaños de mi hermana tuvo lugar (took place) al fin de la semana pasada y acabó de cumplir veintiséis años. Mi hermana no estaba en casa ese día. Ella se sentía deprimida. ¡Yo quería alegrarla! (I tried to use the imperfect here.) Invité a mis amigos: Momo y Mark. También, invité la hermana de mi amiga de su infancia, Nikki, y su madre Carla. Antes llegó a casa, Momo, Mark y Nikki decoran la sala con globos, flores y confeti. Nikki madre preparó un pastel de fresa. Compré galletas, helado y patatas fritas. Cuando mi hermana abrió la puerta, más tarde esa noche, dijimos "Sorpresa! Feliz Cumpleaños"! Mi hermana estaba muy contenta! En primer lugar bailamos! Entonces Carla preparó tacos, papas fritas y ensalada de huevo.

English I gave my sister a surprise party! She is my best friend! My sister's birthday party was last weekend and she turned twenty-six years. My sister was out that day. She felt depressed. I wanted to cheer her up! I invited my friends Momo and Mark. I also invited my sister's childhood friend Nikki and her mother Carla. Before he came home, Momo, Mark and Nikki decorate the room with balloons, flowers and confetti. Nikki mother prepared a strawberry cake. I bought cookies, ice cream and chips. When my sister opened the door, later that night, we said "Surprise! Happy Birthday"! My sister was very happy! First we dance! Then Carla prepared tacos, fries and egg salad. I know there isn't enough imperfect words but I don't know how to use them right. It gets confusing...Please help. Gracias

Firstly, great attempt for a beginner in Spanish ...well done and thank you for completing your basic profile wink

I think that you could say:

Mi hermana no estaba en casa ese día. Se sentía deprimida Yo quería alegrarla! I

My sister was not at home that day (by implication: she was out) She felt depressed I wanted to cheer her up.

A point of grammar to help you:

Spanish natives never use apostrophes, so:

My sister's friend in Spanish is (translated as): la amiga de mi hermana, literally: the friend of my sister

or My friend's mother = La madre de mi amiga

I have also made some other corrections above which might prove helpful. I am an intermediate level student and am not fluent yet.

I hope this helps

Question 1 with 1 blankMás del 90 por ciento de nuestros ríos están contaminados (yo, no dudar) Question 2 with 1 blankLos peces
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

1. No dudo que más del 90 por ciento de nuestros ríos estén contaminados.

2. Es posible que los peces dejen de existir para el año 2050.

3. No es seguro que la energía nuclear sea la solución para el siglo XXI.

4. Es verdad que mueran millones de vacas por una enfermedad misteriosa.

5. Es imposible que una señora de 67 años tenga bebé.

6. Niego que el reciclaje contamine más de lo que ayuda al planeta.

Explanation:

To express doubt, possibility or certain negations, the subjunctive form of the verbs in question is used.

The subjunctive mode is one of the three verbal modes that exist along with the indicative mode and the imperative mode.

For example:

In the sentence number 2 change the verb dejar for dejen which is the subjunctive form of the verb.

The subjunctive is the mode of unreality, expresses desire and possibility:

Example:

Maybe I go on vacation to Mexico.

Tal vez vaya de vacaciones a Mexico

In the subordinate sentences the subjunctive appears:

They are subordinate sentences introduced by Que.

The subjunctive is used in subordinate sentences with denial: I don't think you think that (que) like for example all the sentences in this exercise use que to introduce the subjunctive.
