Les he preparado algunas actividades para que resuelvan ahora

Hola a todos. Me gustaría saber cual es la traducción correcta para la siguiente frase: "Les he preparado algunas actividades para que resuelvan ahora"

Contexto: "Estimados alumnos, teniendo en cuenta que hasta el momento su desempeño no ha sido el mejor, les he preparado algunas actividades (o ejercicios) para que resuelvan ahora".



Desde ya muchas gracias.

I've prepared some exercises for you to solve right now.

I've prepared some exercises for you to solve right now.

Would you actually say "solve"? I would just say "do". If it was something specific like "maths problems" then maybe solve would be more natural, but not exercises in general.

Thank you Mr dent.

Hi SuperScuffer, I'm talking about reading comprehension exercises. Do you think that "do" should sound more natural in this context?

I agree. Solve is appropriate for math problems or for puzzles. "Do" is more generic.

"Do" is better for reading comprehension exercises. This is a good reminder about the importance of providing full context in the opening post.

Yes, "do" works for all exercises, including maths problems, and is the natural way of saying it. You can use "solve" if you want to be more specific for things like maths problems, but as ever it all depends on the context.

 

[Mr.Dent]

including maths problems

I will add for the sake of clarity and completeness that in the USA we say math problems rather than maths problems.

It's one of those small but telling differences between the two versions of the language which is important to get right for the target audience.
