thanks, indeed after my long vacation I am trying to reconnect my neurons:-))
neutral Bill Greendyk : Better that they take them, 'bringing' makes them sound like they'll remain there.

Next Sunday, the Rodriguez's will take the kids to the zoo

Next Sunday is correct here and uses future tense.
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Anderson : Right. We really don't know whose children they will take, do we? I would even say "are going to take..." which is the way most of us would say it, I believe.

next sunday, The Rodriguez (family) are taking their children to the zoo.

I believe the Present continuous is more proper...

agree DTec : Because it's an activity that's been planned beforehand. THis is used more often than 'wil'. 100% ;-) I would use this unless you need to demonstrate that you're aware of using 'Future with will' in English.l

This coming Sunday Mr and Mrs Rodriguez will take the children to the zoo.

Mr and Mrs Rodriguez is an acceptable translation for 'los Rodriguez'.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tussing : This answer looks best in English, and avoids the knotty question of the correct plural for "Rodriguez" ...
1 hr
agree David Lowery : 100% correct by using 'coming', 'will', and 'the' kids.

agree laurab : 100% agree with delfin

agree Erica L : I see Tussing is also concerned about the plural!!

question

I wonder... shouldn´t it be the rodriguezes, like the smiths or the clintons, etc.
sounds weird but...
waht do you think?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Sery : Words ending in "s" or "z", just add the apostrophe to make the possessive
10 hrs
but it is not possesive. It is aquestion of plurals! Isn´t the plural used with last names in English when you refer to the whole fly?

Eriquita's question

Further, in this case there is no possessive involved.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Erica L : Tussing also made a ponit of the plural form
1 hr
neutral Tussing : Yes:-]. I'm not sure about the plural in English; "the Rodriguez" doesn't look quite right, but "the Rodriguezes" sounds strange ... (There is no apostrophe in the plural.) That's why I prefer "Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez" in this case.
