people, people, people. i'm in AP spanish, and if i've learned one thing over the years, it is that you do NOT use translators online. 90 something percent of the time, they don't translate it right. it's all messed up. and another thing, you CANNOT use "hacer" for "he MADE the basketball team". hacer means to do or make as in i do something, or i make my bed. hacer is mostly used for "to do".

Girl...I've been speaking Spanish since I could speak! U COULD use "hacer" for "to make" the basketball team!!! YES U CAN!!!

Fluent speaker for 18 years here! Who knows more, someone who took maybe 4 years of Spanish in school (with all do respect, of course), or someone who has spoken it all their life? But wutever, no need 4 stupid petty arguments...but yeah. Hope everyone's doing good happy.gif ?

not to argue, but my teacher from argentina pointed out that sometimes native speakers get it wrong too. not necessarily you, but some people. i wonder who's right..lol. i don't know..hacer just doesn't sound right in that context. and by the way AP is level 6 biggrin.gif hehe.
