Questions & Answers about Viajamos a la playa.
If I want to ask 'Where are we traveling to?' based on this sentence, which question word do I use?
You would use adónde (to where). Since viajamos involves movement to a destination (a la playa), the matching question word is adónde. The question would be: ¿Adónde viajamos?
Why is there an a before la playa?
The word a means 'to'. It is used after verbs of movement like viajar (to travel) to point out the destination. Notice how it perfectly matches the 'a' built into the question word adónde (to where)!
Why doesn't the sentence start with nosotros (we)?
The English translation says 'We are traveling', but I don't see a word for 'are' here. Why?
The simple present tense in Spanish (viajamos) can translate to both 'we travel' (a routine) and 'we are traveling' (happening right now or very soon). You do not need a separate word for 'are' to express this.
