    Hi,
    I really need help with German. My Exam is on the 16th and just wondering if someone could translate the following sentences in German...

    1. ''If I do decide to go there then I would have to...''
    2. ''I probably would if...''
    3. ''After the summer I will be...''
    4. ''She told them that he probably wouldn't...''
    5. ''They didn't talk to them yet''
    6. ''We're not visiting them until tomorow''
    7. ''Ye were not allowed to talk to them''

    I barely passed last year and am still lost. I need a basic understanding of grammar to get me through the exam.

    Pm me if necessary :p

    THANKS!!!

    I'm not 100% sure about these, but I'll give it a shot. Hopefully someone can correct any mistakes.

    1. Wenn ich dorthin gehen entschiede, wuerde ich...
    2. Ich wuerde vielleicht, wenn...
    3. Nach dem Sommer werde ich...
    4. Sie sagt ihnen, dass er vielleicht nicht werde...
    5. Sie sprachen noch nicht mit ihnen.
    6. Wir besuchen sie nicht bis morgen.
    7. Ihr durftet nicht mit ihnen sprechen.

    Hope this helps :)

    Danke schön!

    I'm going to learn them off by heart along with other sentences from my German teacher instead of learning the actual grammar itself. I find it impossible and it's too late now!

    Please don't as there are a few mistakes in the translation (sorry Poz3D)

    1. Wenn ich dorthin gehen entschiede, wuerde ich...

    Wenn ich mich entscheide dorthin zu gehen, dann würde ich .... (müssen)
    (can you give an example of what you would want to say in English, so I can finish the translation?)

    2. Ich wuerde vielleicht, wenn...
    Wahrscheinlich würde ich (das tun/machen), wenn....
    (I don't like this sentence very much as it's incomplete, so I would add "das tun/machen" or something suitable after "ich"
    4. Sie sagt ihnen, dass er vielleicht nicht werde...
    She hat ihnen gesagt, dass er wahrscheinlich nicht .... wird
    5. Sie sprachen noch nicht mit ihnen.
    or
    sie haben noch nicht mit ihnen geschprochen ("sprachen" is generally used in written form (ie Newspaper/books)
    6. Wir besuchen sie nicht bis morgen.
    Wir besuchen sie erst morgen


    (Hope I've made no mistakes ;))

    Oh right thanks I haven't gotten around to learning them yet anyway. :D

    ''Wenn ich mich entscheide dorthin zu gehen, dann würde ich .... (müssen)
    (can you give an example of what you would want to say in English, so I can finish the translation?)
    ''
    1. If I do decide to go there then I would have to bring suncream.

    and

    2. I probably would if I had more money.

    Thanks for the rest of them.

    'Wenn ich mich entscheide dorthin zu gehen, dann würde ich.......

    ...sonnencreme mitbringen muessen.

    zum beispiel.


    <edit> ooh just spotted the second one.

    2.I probably would if I had more money.

    I dont know what action you are describing you would do if you had more money so for the purpose of making sense in German I have said "I probably would do it", English can hang without the article, German cant...

    Ich wuerde es wahrscheinlich machen, wenn ich mehr Geld haette....
