Hello everyone !

I'm a student and I have to translate several sentences in English.

I've already done it, but I'm not sure that my sentences are right. Could you help me ?


1) Who did you take this moto from ?


2) Who took my pen yesterday ?


3) What colour do you prefer, green or pink ?


4) What can his mother do ?

 

5) How much does a racing bike cost ?

 

6) What's the name of this plant ?


7) Your television would have been to be damaged.

 

8) He has already come down to the village.

 

Thank you !

 Hi,

I'm a student and I have to translate several sentences in English.

I've already done it, but I'm not sure that my sentences are right. Could you help me ?


1) Who(m) did you take this motto from ?


2) Who took my pen yesterday ?


3) What colour do you prefer, green or pink ?


4) What can his mother do ?

 

5) How much does a racing bike cost ?

 

6) What's the name of this plant ?


7) Your television would have been to be damaged.

The tenses are wrong here. With no context, I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Are you trying to make a deduction about the past?

 

 8) He has already come down to the village.

Sounds like the speaker is in the village.

 

Best wishes, Clive

1) Who did you get this motto from ?-- Nowadays, 'who' is OK when the preposition ('from') is dangling at the end of the sentence, but I think you mean 'get'.
