Questions & Answers about En el mercado, quiero comprar frutas frescas y un vestido colorido.
Why is it En el mercado and not En la mercado?
Because mercado is a masculine noun, so we need the masculine article el, not the feminine article la.
Why do we say quiero comprar rather than quiero comprando?
In Spanish, when one verb follows another (like quiero), the second verb typically remains in the infinitive form (comprar). Using a gerund (comprando) in this context would be incorrect.
Why is frutas frescas in the plural and feminine forms?
Since frutas is a feminine plural noun, the adjective (frescas) also has to agree in gender (feminine) and number (plural).
Why do we use un vestido colorido rather than una vestido colorido?
Because vestido is a masculine noun, so we use the masculine article un and a masculine adjective form (colorido).
What does colorido imply in un vestido colorido?
Colorido suggests that the dress has vibrant or multiple colors, emphasizing that it is visually striking or brightly colored.
