Questions & Answers about Ella explica el proyecto durante la clase.
Why do we use "Ella" here instead of just the verb?
In Spanish, the subject pronoun (Ella) is often optional because the verb form (explica) already indicates the subject (third person singular). However, including Ella can add clarity or emphasis on she.
Why does "explica" end in "-a"?
Explica is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb explicar (to explain). In Spanish, verbs ending in -ar follow a regular conjugation pattern, and the -a ending indicates that the subject is he, she, or it.
Why do we use "el proyecto" with the article "el"?
In Spanish, singular nouns typically need a definite article (el for masculine nouns) or (la for feminine nouns). Since proyecto is a masculine noun, we say el proyecto.
What does "durante la clase" mean in terms of time?
Durante means during, so durante la clase indicates that the action (explicar) happens within the timeframe of la clase (the class).
Is "clase" always feminine, and can it be replaced with "curso"?
Yes, clase is feminine, taking la as its article (e.g., la clase). It roughly translates to class in English. You can sometimes use curso (course) interchangeably, but curso implies a longer academic session, whereas clase typically refers to a single class session or lesson.
