Hi
I am new to this forum and this is my first question. I have translated some German sentences. I tried to convert from simple past tense to compound past tense and vice versa.

My German sentences are flawed. Please correct them. It was many years ago that I studied German. Now I am just looking at some old papers and try to revise my knowledge of German.
