i need to answer it in complete sentences in spanish.

Alrededor de 1880, en Buenos Aires, capital de la Argentina, inmigrantes de Europa y África se reunían en los bares y burdeles en busca de unas copas y algo de compañía, y de sus dificultades nació el tango. La música y el baile se inspiran fuertemente en muchas naciones de inmigrantes. De África vienen los ritmos implacables de los tambores de los esclavos. De las pampas de Argentina viene la influencia de la milonga-- música que combina los ritmos indios con música española antigua. El tango habla de una existencia fatal, en la que el dolor y la pena son el destino esperado. Fue Carlos Gardel el máximo exponente del tango argentino en el mundo. En 1915 el tango fue la moda en Europa, y de pronto los americanos lo bailaban. Algunas mujeres americanas comenzaron a llevar "protecciones" contra los roces demasiados íntimos de sus parejas.

1.¿En qué ciudad nació el tango?

2. ¿Cómo describiría Ud. el carácter del tango?

after reading this passage, can someone answer the questions in complete sentences (in spanish)?

Las tortugas de caparazón gigante tienen su hogar en las islas Galápagos, conocidas oficialmente como el Archipiélago de Colón. Este grupo de 19 islas está situado 1.000 kilometros al oeste de Ecuador, y es famoso por su extraordinaria vida animal. Fue aquí donde Charles Darwin se inspiró para desarrollar su teoría de la evolución. Tortugas como la de la foto pueden pesar hasta 140 kilogramos. De todas las criaturas existentes en la tierra, se cree que éstas tienen la mayor duración de vida. A pesar de su gran peso y de su paso lento, viajan hasta 45 kilómetros sobre terreno accidentado para poner sus huevos.

1. ¿Cuántas islas forman las Galápagos?

2. ¿Cuál fue la teoría de Darwin?

3. ¿Cuánta distancia viajan las tortugas para poner sus huevos?

thanks.

This is an easy question for those (even if your main language isn't Spanish) who passed at least Spanish II in high school.

How would you say, "We had to dance in these stupid clothes." in Spanish?

Is it, "Nosotros tuvimos bailar en estas ropas estupidas."?

Thanks

Anyone know of language(s)that are easier to speak than to write and vice versa. I think Spanish is the easiest to speak and write. Hongul is the hardest, in my experience. What do you think?

1. Does "Ellos le han comprado un gato" mean "They have bought him/her a cat" or "They have bought a cat"?

2. Does "Ella ya se ha comido los chocolates" mean "She has already eaten the chocolates"?

3. I am fairly confident that "La princesa ha sufrido mucho" means "The princess has suffered a lot"

4. And "Ella dejó de hablar" means "She quit talking" right?

5. And finally, "Él comenzó a hablar" means "He started talking" correct?

Thank you

Or is there a different phrase for it? You know, when they have a hole in them, and it goes... "running".

Is there a more formal or appropriate way to say it than 'Traduccion en espanol esta en la pagina siguiente?' (I know about the accent marks.) This is for a public notice in a newspaper. I was thinking ...esta localizada en... or 'se encontra en.' Hurry folks, please, I'm on deadline
