"La siesta"

Everybody think that in Spain all people make a nap after lunch, every days of year. I live in Catalonia and I don't know nobody who does "la siesta" in weekdays. But is possible that some people in some days on holidays or weekend, they doing. In others spots more hot, where is not possible go out from home during the day in summer while the sun is stronger, traditionally they do this short sleep. The "siesta" should last around thirty minutes to 1 hour. If your nap last longer time, is possible that later at night, you will have problems for shut-eye to sleep.

I have a question. I wrong a lot of times with the verb in the third person. I don't notice that the subject is in third person. Is there any trick to know it?

"Everyone in Spain" or "everybody in Spain" are set phrases so either works. "Everybody" was already used at the beginning of the sentence so I chose "everyone" instead so it wouldn't sound repetitive. I hope this helps! If not, please ask again.

This is a rhetorical question you need a ? At the end

In others spots more hot hotter areas, where it is not possible to go out from home during the day in summer while the sun is stronger, traditionally they do this short sleep, traditionally people nap/people nap more frequently.

It is very kind of you. Sometimes is difficult for me to notice that a verb is in third person. Is there any trick to find out?

I am assuming you mean the use of ‘it’

It is very hard indeed, I think what would be best is to determine if the phrase you’re using falls upon a third-person subject, like:

“I find the homework difficult.” “I find it difficult.”

When in Spanish you’d substitute las/los, try just writing it. Maybe do this from now on and I will correct where it is not meant to be and explain.

Very tricky concept indeed !!!! I wish you well.

Thanks a lot. I will to try to do the change of the subject by it/he/she.

"La siesta"

Everybody thinks that in Spain all people meveryone in Spain takes a nap after lunch, every days of the year.

The sentence sounds more natural if you make "everyone in Spain" the subject.
Also, having "everybody" and "everyone" right next to each other sounds a little repetitive in writing. You could replace "everybody" with "most people."
Finally, you "take a nap" in English!

I live in Catalonia and I don't know noanybody who dotakes "la siesta" ion weekdays.

"I don't know nobody" would make sense to native English speakers, but it sounds very informal and dialectical.
"To do a siesta" doesn't sound wrong to me, but since it's the same concept as a nap it's better to use the verb "take."

But it is possible that some people in some daystake one occasionally on holidays or the weekend, they doing.

To sound natural here you have to put the action (taking a siesta) after the subject (some people).
You also have to name what you're talking about (you can't just mention "doing" something). Here you can just referring to taking a siesta as "taking one" because the context of your writing is clear.
I changed "some days" to "occasionally." This sounds better because it avoids the repetition of "days" in "some days" and "holidays."

In others spots more hot, where iswhere it's hotter and not possible gto out fromleave home in summer, traditionally they do thistake a short sleenap, while the sun is stronger.

You can include the information of "hotter" after the relative pronoun "where" since it also refers to the spots.
In English you "leave" home. "Go out" refers to leaving with plans to do something, usually at night (watching a movie, partying, etc).

The "siesta" should last around thirty minutes to 1 hour.

If your nap lasts longer time,[than that], it is possible that later at night, you will have problems for shut-eye to sleeping.

"Shut-eye" is an informal way to refer to sleep, and you can't really combine it with other words.
You could say "you won't get any shut-eye," but then you'll kind of sound like a cowboy! 🤠

Nice work!! A lot of the things I corrected would have sounded less awkward in natural speech, but I tried to make your writing fit into standard rules of grammar.

I'm sad to hear that the tradition of siestas isn't really practiced. 😔 With all the heat waves around the world this summer, maybe we should've started taking them again.

Thanks for your corrections. In hot days, with free time and later lunch, I think is not a bad idea to take a nap. :)
