Hi Grace,

I hope you are well.  I wrote some other sentences.  I'm working on using "zài", "dào" and "gěi" in sentences.  Also using "dào" as until.  Are these correct?

Our ice cream is here! (wǒmen bīngqílín dào le!)

I studied until the third sentence (wǒ xuédào dī sān ge jùzi le)

I put the key on the table (wǒ bǎ yàoshi fàng zài zhuōzi shàng)

I gave her a phone call (wǒ gěi tā dǎ diàn huà le)

Please hang this picture on the middle of the wall (Zhè ge huà, Qíng guà zài qiáng de zhōngmian shàng)

My plane arrives in San Francisco at 8am (wǒ de fēijī yào bādiàn jiùjīnshān dào le)

I bought a new ball for Maiya (wǒ gěi Maiya mǎi le xīn de qiú)

Hannah made a sandwich for me (Hannah gěi wǒ zuò le sānmíngzhǐ)

when the weather is hot, I like to lay on the floor (Tiānqì rè de shíhòu, wǒ xǐhuan tǎng zài dìbàn shàng)

When the weather is really nice, I like to come to the beach (tiānqì hén měi de shíhòu, wǒ xǐhuan huì hǎitān lái)

Please take this toy downstairs for Hannah (Zhège wángjù, qíng gěi hannah ná zài lóuxià)

Next week, i'm returning to the US (Xià ge xīngxī, wǒ yào huì měiguó lái le)

Please throw this in the trash (zhè ge rēng zài lājītóu lí)

I studied until 4pm (wǒ xuédao sìdiàn le)

yesterday afternoon we watched pleasant goat and the big bad wolf (Zuǒtiān xiàwǔ wǒmen kàndào xǐyàngyàng hé huítáilǎng)

Hi Fred,

Good job!

I just made some small corrections:

 

Please hang this picture on the middle of the wall (Zhè ge huà, Qíng guà zài qiáng de zhōngmian shàng)——Zhè ge huà, Qǐng guà zài qiáng de zhōngjiān.

 

My plane arrives in San Francisco at 8am (wǒ de fēijī yào bādiàn jiùjīnshān dào le)——wǒ de fēijī  bādiǎn dào jiùjīnshān.

 

When the weather is really nice, I like to come to the beach (tiānqì hén měi de shíhòu, wǒ xǐhuan huì hǎitān lái)——tiānqì hén měi de shíhòu, wǒ xǐhuan qù hǎitān.

 

Please take this toy downstairs for Hannah (Zhège wángjù, qíng gěi hannah ná zài lóuxià)——Zhège wánjù, qíng gěi hannah ná dào lóuxià.

 

Next week, i'm returning to the US (Xià ge xīngxī, wǒ yào huì měiguó lái le)——Xià ge xīngxī, wǒ yào huí měiguó le.

 

Please throw this in the trash (zhè ge rēng zài lājītóu lí)——zhè ge rēng dào lājītǒng lǐ.

 

I studied until 4pm (wǒ xuédao sìdiàn le)——wǒ (zuótiān) xuédào sìdiǎn.

 

yesterday afternoon we watched pleasant goat and the big bad wolf (Zuǒtiān xiàwǔ wǒmen kàndào xǐyàngyàng hé huítáilǎng)——Zuǒtiān xiàwǔ wǒmen kànle xǐyángyáng hé huītàiláng.

Best,

Grace
