I've been studying French via various home courses. I haven't been at it all that long, but I'm making progress. I've been building my vocabulary and doing my best to read up on the grammar. Today instead of relying on the courses I've put on my computer, I decided to see if I could apply what I knew. Instead of doing a specific lesson from a book or recording or computer program, I just tried to use some of what I've learned in sentences I made up myself. I did my best to make them correct. Perhaps someone would be willing to look at them to see if they are. They're dirt simple. Like I say, I'm new to this language. Here are the sentences:

Je marche a la bas.

Les hommes marchent avec la fille.   

Marchez-vous avec moi ?

Je voudrais marcher avec toi.

Marches avec moi, s'il te plaît.

Je vois une belle femme. (Ne sûr pas c'est correct.) Elle est gentil.

Notre chaise est bon.

Je voudrais promener dans le parc avec la femme. (Ne sûr pas c'est correct.)

Demain je promène dans le parc avec la belle femme. (??)

L'homme et la femme promènent ensemble dans le parc.

Promenez-vous demain avec la femme ?   

Aujourd’hui je achète une tronçonneuse.

Regardez-vous mon ordinateur, sil vous plaît.

Est-ce que le livre est bon ?

En la Suisse on parle allemand et français et italien.

Cet homme veut acheter un livre.

I recommend www.lang-8.com. That's exactly what that site is for.

Je marche là-bas. Correcte mais on dira : J'y vais. Eventuellement : J'y vais à pieds.

I find this very useful. French is not as difficult as some languages. You can be off a
bit and still present the proper context.

Usually a noun is preceded by an article le, la or les. But for place names like in
France you say "en France" and to Paris: "à Paris" without the article.

And then there is the pronoun for you which can be "tu" or "vous" when it is singular.
When you are talking to a stranger or someone of respect you'd use "vous" even when it is
just 1 person. To a close friend you'd use "tu".
