Anyone wants to check my sentences in french?

[Ladd Russo]

I know about the accents, just ignore their...absence.  And I know the names may not be right...

1)Teresa habite Paris. (Teresa lives in Paris.) Ce sa natale ville. (It's her natal town)

2)Ma natale ville est tres belle. (My natal town is very beautiful)

3)Cette sall est tre clair. (This "auditory" is very bright.)

4)Martha lit. (Martha is reading.) Elle lit vite. (She reads fastly) Maria dit  "Merci, c'est assez". (Mary says "thanks, that's enough")

5)Michelle ecrit la dictee. (Michelle is writing the dictation) Elle dit "ce dictee est assez difficile". (She says "this dictation is pretty difficily (or difficile enough?) )

6)Martha dit a ses eleves "fermez la livres". (Martha says to her students "close the books")

7)Eliz fait les exercises. (Eliz is doing the exercises)

8)Mike et John revisent la grammair. (Mike and John are revising the "grammatical content")

9)Teresa dit "revisez ces textes". (Teresa says "revise(plural) these texts")

10)Les eleves prendent le cahiers et ecrivent la dictee. (The students take the papers and write the dictation.)

 

Thank you very much.

In (1) and (2) be careful of word order: remember the default word order is to put the noun before the adjective, so you end up with "ville natale".

In (3) be careful of the adjective agreement and spelling of "salle".

In (5) be careful of "ce" and "cette": "ce" is used with masculine words, "cette" with feminine.

In (6) again, be careful in "le"/"la"/"les".

In (8) just watch the spelling of "grammaire".

In (10) check the verb form and again be careful of "le"/"la"/"les".

Thanks! I will check everything.

But doesn't french have a present continuous tense? By the book I used, they're mixing present simple and p.s. continuous in those sentences. :/

No, not as such. So if you say in French "je regarde" that can mean either "I watch/look" or "I am watching/looking".

 

French obviously has a means to express the difference in cases where it is really necessary to avoid ambiguity. But the language doesn't routinely make this difference as in English, and not through verb conjugation.
