Questions & Answers about Mi hermano tose cuando hace frío.
In Spanish, does the present tense in tose express a habit or something happening right now?
Both are possible with the simple present. Here, because of cuando, it’s read as a general habit: My brother coughs whenever it’s cold. For something happening right now, Spanish often prefers the progressive: Mi hermano está tosiendo.
Why is it hace frío and not es frío or está frío?
Why doesn’t cuando have an accent, but cuándo sometimes does?
Cuando (no accent) is a connector meaning when. Cuándo (with accent) is used in direct or indirect questions/exclamations.
