Yarr! You see, I just started Spanish II after a long summer of "no-Spanish."
So...I forgot how to say 'prepare a meal' or 'make dinner.' I'm lacking my Spanish book at the moment... =\
Also, how to say 'it's rainy.' Like...'Hace <something>' I forget...
And also, do I need this 'a' here: "Pueden jugar a futbol hoy?" |

#1: Umm... Cenar? Or is that just "to eat dinner"? Sorry, I'm not too sure about that one.
#2: "It's rainy" is, I believe, is just plain old "Lluvia". At least, it is according to my Spanish textbook.
#3: I don't think you need the "a" or anything else in that sentence. Just plain old "Pueden jugar futbol hoy?" sounds good enough to me. (Sorry about the lack of proper accentage or punctuation.)
I hope that helped a little, and good luck!  |

erm...
#1. I would say - hacer la cena o cenar; the first is to make dinner, the other is to have dinner. o preparar la comida, which is to prepare food.
#2. the most correct way to say that is hace lluvia.
#3. Well, if we are being proper here, the a is need. Darn those jugar a rules. But if I were talking with my friends we wouldn't use it. |

Sorry I posted this twice. I posted it here and then realized I would probably get more feedback in an open forum.
Oh wellz.  |
