Questions & Answers about Él siempre cena en la casa de mi amigo.
I notice cena translates to 'has dinner.' Do I need to use the Spanish word for 'have' or 'eat' with it?
Why does the sentence say la casa de mi amigo instead of mi amigo's casa?
Why does Él have an accent mark on the 'E'?
The accent mark shows that Él means the pronoun 'he'. If you write el without the accent mark, it means 'the' (as in el amigo, the friend). This small mark helps you tell the two words apart in writing!
Does siempre have to come right before the verb?
While Spanish word order can sometimes be flexible, frequency words like siempre (always) usually go right before the verb, just like they do in English. Saying Él siempre cena is the most natural way to phrase this.
