Questions & Answers about La biblioteca de nuestra escuela es grande y silenciosa.
Why is it "la biblioteca" and not "el biblioteca"?
"Biblioteca" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so we use the feminine article "la."
What does "de nuestra escuela" mean in this context?
It indicates that the library belongs to our school. "De" shows possession or belonging, and "nuestra" is a possessive adjective meaning "our," agreeing with the feminine "escuela."
Why is "nuestra" used instead of "nuestro"?
"Nuestra" is feminine to agree with "escuela," which is also feminine. In Spanish, possessive adjectives must match the gender (and number) of the noun they modify.
Why do we say "es grande y silenciosa" and not "está grande y silenciosa"?
"Ser" (in this case "es") is used to describe essential qualities or characteristics — here, size and a general quality of silence. "Estar" would suggest a temporary state.
How do I pronounce the 'c' in "silenciosa" properly in Spain?
In most parts of Spain, the 'c' before 'i' or 'e' is pronounced like the English "th" in "think," so "silenciosa" sounds like see-len-thyoh-sah.
