Balon Soccer Ball
Spanish grammar help?
I'm writing a children's story about sea creatures that play soccer and I need some help.
To say "she had confidence in herself"
tuvo confianza en si misma o tenia confianza en si misma?
They continued to play
continuaron o continuaban (a jugar/jugando)?
To say "The lobster that first told her to leave swam in front of the goal. She headbutted the ball towards the goal."
El langosta que por primero le dijo irse nadó al frente de la portería. Ella dio un cabeceo hacia el arco.
To say "When she got to the highest part she was presented with a grand view. But the only thing she saw was boys that were playing soccer. In that moment she wanted to participate."
Cuando llegó lo más alto se presentaba una gran vista. Pero lo único que vio fue los chicos que jugaban el fútbol. En ese momento quiso participar.
Also, in soccer is the ball pelota or balon?
And do I use preterite of imperfect when I talk about fish that were swimming around in the water?
1) Tenia confianza en si misma
2) They continued to play ------ continuaron jugando o continuaban (it depends in the context and in
what you intend to say)
3) La langosta que primero le dijo que se iba nadó frente a la porteria y dií un cabeceo hacia el arco
4) Cuando llego a lo más alto, habia (there was) una gran vista. Pero lo unico que vio fueron los chicos que jugaban (al) futbol. En ese momento quiso participar
5) In soccer you can use balon (spain), or pelota (south america)
6) The fish were swimming around the water
Los peces estaban nadando en el agua

Inspired by the Etruscans The official match ball of the 1990 World Cup in Italy has a design based on Etruscan art. The Etruscans were ancestors of the Italians. COVER: The 1990 Italy Etrusco Unico was manufactured entirely from synthetic fibers, and it was the first ball with an internal layer of polyurethane foam. The Etrusco has twenty panels with "triad" graphics that create 12 identical circles. Three layers below the cover ensure that the ball is watertight, durable and perfectly round. BLADDER: Latex bladder for a consistent ball flight. Imported. |
1. Go to the park. Not the one down the street that you go to every day. Find a park that you don't normally go to with playground equipment that your kids are bored with. Pack snacks and stay a while.
2. Walk by the water. Any body of water will do. Is there a beach close enough? A pond with ducks? (Bring bread!) A creek or waterfall near a hiking trail? Do you have an old remote control boat that's been forgotten about in the corner of the closet for years? Is it time to teach your kids to skip rocks? Does the lake rent out paddle boats for a buck?
3. Go hiking. You don't have to be a teenage Boy Scout with backpacking experience. Pick a hike that fits the abilities of your family. Maybe it's hike in the less tame areas of a local park. Maybe it's parking half a mile from Grandma's house and walking the rest of the way.
4. Play in the sprinklers. This requires a warm day, but what a blast. Even more fun that predictable sprinklers is parents with a hose. Who knows where the water will go next? If it's warm and raining at the same time, playing in the rain is hilarious! Or try the water balloon variation of playing in the water.
5. Go on a scavenger hunt. This takes some prep time on the parents' part. Put together a list of items to get and let the kids go door to door. Make it simple and all the neighbors will want to help. Have them get items like a Q-Tip, a gum wrapper or a piece of unpopped popcorn.
6. Go on a bike ride. If the kids are too young to ride on the street, get one of those trailers or a kid seat for your bike.
7. Go to the library. Apply for a library card if you don't have one. Get library cards for your kids if they're old enough. Get a book for everyone, including parents.
8. Invite friends over for a play date. Better yet, do the whole dinner and a movie thing with the kids and one or two friends for each. Let the kids play together, serve a fancy meal of pizza or macaroni and cheese and then watch a Disney flick. Maybe the friends' parents will reciprocate and you can sneak off for a dinner sans kids sometime.
9. Play ball in the street or at the local park. By this I mean parents play too. Baseball, basketball, soccer, anything. It's just for fun, though. Don't get too serious or competitive. And don't forget the girls. They need to get out there too.
10. Bake cookies. Kids love to make something yummy. Just resign yourself to the fact that the kitchen is going to get messy. It's worth it.
