Dear Macarena and Victor
ResponderEliminarVery nice job!!! However the translation for number 4 doesn’t look right:
Mr. Koum had discussed leaving the company since late last year, the person added.
T: El Sr. Koum había discutido sobre dejar la compañía desde fines del año pasado, agregó la persona.
Besides some of the grammatical tenses are incorrect. Check table below:
Present tense: is leaving, grow up, speak, move on.
Past tense: had sold, wrote, collected, explained, sold, built, had discussed.
Future tense:
Passive voice: was perturbed
Present perfect: have said, have done
You got a 6.6
