oh boy...............
GCSE Spanish isn't actually a very high level - you barely have to be able to speak Spanish & because it's aimed at teens it's quite a limited vocab, too
at his age I'd have thought he would have already done the GCSE so be studying a higher level than that - AS or A level - & he should know better than to say 'buen día' - but I've known kids pass with good grades who maybe didn't
how did the rest of the conversation go?

How about the visitor who pops into Northmberland and says in his best english to the local Good Morning to get the reply "wots thi fettle" and we think Spanish is confusing

basic GCSE isn't a very high level to get a pass in any subject, while waiting toi be called for my Russian oral test I saw some old maths GCSE papers on the desk, I picked on up, and completed it in 10 minutes without calcualtor, pen/pencil or paper, and it asked 'show all your workings'!!, I'd doen it all in my head..

I don't often hear the spanish say buenas dias to each other, I think it's more used in shops or with the Brits? Could be because I am rarely out and about before mid-morning though
Most popular form of greeting between people who know each other where I lived were ¿Cómo te va? ¿Qué tal? ¿Qué hay? ¿Qué pasa? Suppose it's regional like the UK. Has anyone mentioned "MornIn"

So it should say, "Cuando me voy este verano, voy a nadar"... or "ire a natacion"(I will go swimming)you can't say "ir nadando" which in its literal sense means go swimming but it doesn't include the subject of the matter.
Hope that helps.

If its morning then the greeting is Buenos Dias....(masculine BUENOS) if its the evening its Buenas Tardes... (femenine BUENAS).... if you're not sure or are just too lazy to say it, just say Buenas....
I usually say, "Hasta luego jus like you'd say, See ya....I think saying Adios is too final.....or again, you can always say, "Buenas".......

In most places I've lived, "BUENOS" by itself is very common greeting, as is "HA'LUEGO" on parting.
