¿Hablas español?

¡It's homework time again!

The writing assignment was:

Ensayo Escrito (title = Este fin de semana)
Write a paragraph, in Spanish, of at least six complete sentences about
what you are going to do this weekend (Este fin de semana). Please use
a construction with ‘ir’ + ‘a’ at least three times. In addition, please
be sure to utilize the following verbs at least once: ‘tener que’ and
‘querer’.

This is what I've got. If you can understand Spanish and see any huge mistakes can ya let me know? ¡Gracias!

Voy a desayunar con mis amigos en Uptown Diner el sábado. Después del desayuno vamos al cementerio. Voy a tomar fotografías de las lápidas. Quiero ver películas con mi esposo el domingo. Mis películas favoritas son las de ciencia ficción y de comedia.Tengo que estudiar español este fin de semana también.

ok, changed one sentence. Hopefully I've got everything else right. :)

No, you wouldn't put "el" in front of Espanol all the time (shoot - this keyboard isn't allowing me to code for tilde). But yes, the adjective typically comes after the noun in Spanish (there are exceptions, but not generally seen in first semester Spanish).

I would probably also rewrite that sentence: Mis películas favoritas son las de ciencia ficción y las de comedia.

or

Mis películas favoritas son las de ciencia ficción y de comedia.

But again, that may be a more advanced syntactic expression than you're working with in this class.

I change my keyboard from US to Spanish before typing my homework so to get the ñ I just have to hit the ; key. :) It also makes it easy for the upside down ! and ?, and the accents.
And yeah, adding the las de after son actually does sound right now that I see it. (I was just feeling proud of myself that I remembered to use son instead of es)

Thank you!!!
