Japanese sentance structure help?

Question

does this sentance [さくらがもうすこしでまんかいでした ] make sense to mean "the cherry blossoms were almost in full blossom"?

thanks, i really appreciate your help!

Answer 1

としてきは　サクラが　すぐ　まんかいに　なろうあのといました

Answer 2

no, because it mixes tenses (it mixes present with past).

it should be: sakura ga mousukoshi de mankaishimasu (present), because mousukoshi tells that it is about to happen and hasnt already happened.

Answer 3

work on your english grammar and spelling first.......

Answer 4

あのときは　サクラが　すぐ　まんかいに　なろうとしていました

That is how it would be written,

”At that time, the sakura were soon to 'become full bloom'."

I think that makes more sense, your original sentence is a little wrong. I think it is better if you use the sentence I constructed, it is the same meaning... Just thinking like a Japanese...

Hope this helps
