Hemos sido (married / together/???) para cuatro años. El niño se llama Brandon y la niña es Tori. Brandon tiene cinco años y Tori tiene siete meses (although with babies it's usually slightly different but worry about that later ).

Mi marido se llama Jeremy - o - El nombre de mi marido es...
De wordreference.com
llamarse verbo pronominal
to be called;
su padre se llama Pedro his father is called Pedro, his father's name is Pedro;
¿cómo te llamas? what's your name?

With age always use tener. Tengo 26 años. Mi marido tiene 30 años. Etc...

Keep 'em coming. He who never made a mistake never made anything.

Bien hecho Clare
*If you're just starting out it's useful to use the pronouns (yo, tú, él etc) to remind yourself to conjugate the verb correctly, but normally they are not needed as the verb form tells you who is doing things. If there may be confusion, or to emphasise something then put them in.
So - vivo en España - that's clear : I live in spain. Vive en españa could be he, her, you so if this causes a problem use él/ella/usted.

The verb conjugations are very important and you'll need to get familiar with them. In English we have less forms (I work, you work, he/she works etc.) In Spanish each person has their own form (yo trabajo, tu trabajas, él trabaja ...) and you have to use the right one to agree with the subject of the verb in person and number. Wordreference has the conjugation for each verb but you need to visit somewhere like about.spanish.com for explanations. Most of us struggle because we never knew or have forgotten our English grammar

convenience store: (from wordreference.com)
convenience store nnfpequeña tienda de alimentación convenience store nnmpequeño supermercado
So : Mi marido trabaja en una pequeña tienda de alimentación would be easiest.
Note: trabaja because it's he works

Tyeslater be careful with translators.

For example, when you translate convenience store the translator has no idea what you mean, it just translated the word convenience and store and smacked them together. Sort of.

I don't live in the United States so I don't honestly know what a convenience store is exactly, I assume from watching US media that it's some kind of small supermarket like Kwik-E-Mart in the Simpsons?

Using translators is very tricky business. The best thing to do is pick English words to send into the translator that only have one meaning.

Hope this helps you in the future! Nos vemos

ya it's just like the kwik-e mart. it's a gas station that sells lottery, cigerattes, and some groceries.

si, simlar a kwik-e mart. Esta gasolinera eso ventas loteria, cigerettes, y comestibles.
