I'm in Spanish 2, homeschooling, so I can't really ask the teacher for help o_O .

I need to translate these sentences, English to Spanish.
I do not understand.
I prefer not to listen.
They prefer not to work.
Mary doesn't talk to me.
Jane doesn't talk to her.
I don't know it.
Do not talk! (Use Ud.)
Do not write to me! (Use Ud.)
Do not enter! (Use tu')
Don't you have a book? (Use Ud.)

If anyone can help with those sentences, I would greatly appreciate it! No online translators please.
 
entender = to understand (it is an e-ie stem change)
escuchar = to listen (regular)
preferir = to prefer (e-ie)
hablar = to talk (regular)
saber = to know (tricky in the first person singular yo)
escribir = to write (regular)

remember that el, ella and usted/ud are all the same conjugation. I will NOT conjugate these for you as you need to learn how :)

if you really can't get them then I will help a little more.
 
Thanks, I didn't know a couple of those. I got most of them done now. Only ones left are the Ud. ones, not sure how to re-write those.
 
I don't know = yo no se

I do not understand. - No entiendo.
I prefer not to listen. - Yo prefiero no escuchar.
They prefer not to work. - Ellos prefieren no escuchar.
Mary doesn't talk to me. - Mary no habla a me.
Jane doesn't talk to her. - Jane no habla a ella.
I don't know it. - Yo no conozco. (I'm not sure on this one)
Do not talk! (Use Ud.) - No escuches!
Do not write to me! (Use Ud.) - No escribas a usted.
Do not enter! (Use tu') - No entrees. (Not sure on this one)
Don't you have a book? - Tu no tienes un libro?
 
Hahanerd, thanks I had just finished it and checked it over with what you said. Cleared up some of the stuff I wasn't sure about, so thanks for that :) .

No entres, (yo)No lo se' - Those are what I had, that wasn't what you posted.

There is also a crossword for this, there is blank and the hint for it is "Contrario de ultimo". Which is unlike last, so I'm guessing it is first? The word is 7 letters, according to the spaces in the crossword. For the life of me, I can't figure this one out.

The crossword one is primero.

you made some mistakes

they prefer not to work is: ellos no prefieren trabajar
I don't know it: it depends on the context cuz it could be both conocer or saber
do not talk is: no hable (its a command btw)
do not talk to me is: no escribe a mi
do not enter is: no entra

also real spanish they dont use yo, ellos cuz its basically repeating and makes you sound arrogant

I am in spanish 5
 
Thanks for the tips. I submitted it yesterday, she only corrected one of them.

As for the crossword, I put primero...got it wrong lol? I asked my dad, he said it was that. Called like 10 people I know who speak spanish, they said I was right too.

Screw it, oh well lol. thanks for the help guys. Can close this now.
