Questions & Answers about En el huerto podemos aprender sobre plantas antes de volver por el puente al anochecer.
Why do we use en el huerto instead of en el jardín in this sentence?
In Spanish from Spain, el huerto usually refers to a piece of land used for growing fruits, vegetables, or other plants, while el jardín is more general and can simply mean a decorative garden. Using en el huerto highlights that this place is specifically a garden or orchard where plants are cultivated, rather than just a regular garden.
Why do we say podemos aprender instead of something like podemos aprendemos?
In Spanish, when two verbs go together, the second one usually stays in the infinitive form. We have podemos (conjugated from poder) followed by aprender (the infinitive form of “to learn”). If you said podemos aprendemos, you would be conjugating both verbs, which is not grammatically correct in Spanish.
What does sobre mean here in aprender sobre plantas?
In this context, sobre means “about.” So aprender sobre plantas translates to learn about plants in English. It introduces the topic or subject that we are learning about.
Why is it antes de volver instead of antes volver?
In Spanish, certain expressions require de before the infinitive when expressing actions that happen before or after something else. The phrase is antes de + [infinitive verb]. Therefore, antes de volver is the correct structure to say “before returning.”
Why do we say al anochecer instead of something like en la noche?
Al anochecer literally means at dusk or at nightfall, focusing on the moment the evening is starting. En la noche (at night) is a broader term. Here, al anochecer places emphasis on the specific time when dusk begins, giving a clearer picture of when the action happens.
