Questions & Answers about Comemos pescado en el parque.

Why is comemos used without nosotros?
In Spanish, subject pronouns (like nosotros) are often omitted because the verb ending (-emos) already tells you the subject is “we.” You can include nosotros for emphasis (Nosotros comemos pescado en el parque), but it’s not required.
How do I turn this sentence into a question in Spanish?

Just add inverted question marks and keep the same word order:
¿Comemos pescado en el parque?
If you want a wh-question, you can say:
¿Dónde comemos pescado?
Spanish doesn’t force you to invert the verb and subject the way English does.

Why is there no article before pescado?

When talking about food in general (a mass noun), Spanish drops the article: comemos pescado means “we eat fish” as a category. If you refer to a specific fish, you’d use an article:

  • Comemos un pescado (“we eat a fish”), or
  • Comemos el pescado (“we eat the [particular] fish”).
Why do we say en el parque instead of en parque?
Spanish normally uses the definite article with places. El parque means “the park.” Without el, en parque sounds unnatural. If you want “in a park,” use the indefinite article: en un parque.
What’s the difference between pescado and pez?
Pez is a live fish swimming in water. Pescado is a fish used as food (once it’s caught or prepared). In comemos pescado, you’re clearly talking about eating fish.
Is comemos the same as “we are eating” (present continuous)?

No, comemos is the simple present tense, which can express both habitual actions (“we eat fish regularly”) and ongoing actions (“we’re eating fish”). If you want the Spanish progressive, you’d say:
Estamos comiendo pescado en el parque.

How would I make the sentence negative?

Place no before the verb:
No comemos pescado en el parque.
That means “We do not eat fish in the park.”

Can I put the location first to emphasize it?
Yes. You can say En el parque comemos pescado to stress the place. Spanish word order is flexible; this fronting highlights el parque.
