Questions & Answers about Regresamos al hospital.

Where is the word for 'we' in the Spanish sentence?
In Spanish, the ending of the verb usually tells you who is doing the action. The verb regresamos ends in -amos, which specifically means 'we are returning'. Because of this, you do not need to include the pronoun nosotros (we).
Why does the sentence use al instead of a el?
In Spanish, whenever the preposition a (to) is followed immediately by the masculine word for 'the', which is el, they must merge together to form the contraction al. It is grammatically incorrect to write a el separately.
Which question word from this lesson would someone use to get this sentence as an answer?
You would use adónde, which means 'to where'. The question would be '¿Adónde regresamos?'. Because this sentence involves motion toward a destination, we use adónde instead of just dónde (where).
Is the word hospital pronounced the same as in English?
The spelling is identical, but the pronunciation is different because the letter 'h' is always silent in Spanish. You pronounce it by starting right from the 'o'.
