Umseting - Arabiskt-Enskt - قرائت في الجريدة انه عندك أرض للبيع

The tense is wrong as it shoud be(you have )

المعنى صحيح ولكن هناك خطأ في كتابة (قرائت) والصحيح هو : قرأت

In English we have to make the verbs agree in time in the same sentence. If we understood that "read" as past tense, the second verb should also be into past tense, otherwise the beginning has to be "am reading" since it's not usual to use "read" into simple present in a sentence like this.

So, the line could be either:
"I'm reading in the newspaper that you have a piece of land for sale."
or
"I read in the newspaper that you had a piece of land for sale."

@ghasemkiani, what is the most accurate?

Thank you liliane canale for the suggestion. You are totally right. The correct translation is the one with the past tense.

"I read in the newspaper that you had a piece of land for sale."

almansori is right about the spelling error in the source text.

Well... we are not judging the source, but the translation.

Dear Lilian'

You are right about your opinion.
The second choice in the past tense is more suitable.
