Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

-Me

Instructions: Write a paragraph in Spanish about what your typical day is like. Be sure and use reflexive verbs and some times. Remember, a paragraph is a minimum of five sentences.

and this is what I wrote:

Mi día es interesante. Mi día es largo. Todos los días voy a la escuela a las seis y media. Yo no llego a casa hasta las cinco de reloj '. Tengo fútbol después de la escuela y cuando llego a casa estoy muy cansado.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but I was just wondering if a spanish speaker on here could take a look at it. Is there anything I should fix or will it work?

I just read through your post, having not taken spanish for over a year, and it seemed to all make sense to me so far.

why a murder train?Well, The Blues revolve around trains, and I'm trying to be Blues-y about it.
I think a t-rex sounds better, I mean Murder T-rex. just think about it.
This made my day.

I can see no issues with any of it, but I haven't studied spanish for a long time.

Mi día usualmente es muy interesante, ya que me suelo divertir mucho con las diversas actividades que realizo. Sin embargo, considero que mi día tambien es algo largo, ya que estoy ocupado la mayor parte de él. Todos los días voy a la escuela a las seis y media de la mañana y disfruto mucho de la compañía de mis compañeros. No llego a casa sino hasta las cinco de la tarde, pero no me quejo. Tengo práctica de fútbol después de la escuela y cuando llego a casa estoy muy cansado, aunque la verdad sí vale la pena esforzarme en actividades que considero entretenidas.

Please do not send me group invites.

You didn't use any reflexive verbs.

Also, do you really play soccer after school? Or are you meaning to say american football?

Mis días son interesante. Mis días som largo. Todos los días voy a la escuela a las seis y media. Yo no llego a casa hasta las cinco de reloj. Tengo fútbol después escuela y cuando llego a casa estoy muy cansado.

Since it's your typical day, I would make it plural. Also, you don't need "de la" at that one part.

las seis y media.
Also, say: a las seis y media de la mañana.

Just to clarify the time of day.

If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

I would help you out buddy, but I had poor teachers my first 2 years of Spanish. Only took it to get my required foreign language. I lived off Google translate lol

las cinco de reloj
This is incorrect. You don't say "5 of clock."

There is no "o'clock" in spanish.

Say: las cinco.

I grew up speaking spanish, it does need "de la". Sounds wrong without it. Just needs to be a bit longer to be a paragraph I guess. "cinco de reloj" sounds off and would be better as "cinco de la tarde", meaning "five in the afternoon".

a casa estoy muy cansado.


Don't say, "to house"

Say, "to my house"

A mi casa.
