Questions & Answers about Cenas con tu familia en casa.
Why is cenas used instead of cenas with a different ending?
In cenas, the -as ending corresponds to the tú form of the verb cenar (to have dinner) in the present tense. If you were using a formal address (usted), you would say cena instead.
Why do we use tu instead of su here?
Tu is the informal possessive pronoun that matches tú. You use su in a more formal context or to indicate possession for usted, él, or ella. Since the sentence addresses someone informally, tu is appropriate.
Is it okay to say Cenas con tu familia en la casa instead of en casa?
Yes, but en casa typically implies your own home, while en la casa refers to a specific house to which you’re directing attention. In everyday conversation, en casa is more natural if you mean at home.
What if I want to emphasize that the dinner happens every evening?
You can add an expression of frequency: Cenas con tu familia en casa todos los días (You have dinner with your family at home every day). Another example could be Siempre cenas con tu familia en casa (You always have dinner with your family at home).
