Questions & Answers about Comprendes muy bien la clase.

Why is muy bien before la clase?
In Spanish, adverbs like muy bien (very well) often go directly after the verb they describe. English usually puts "very well" at the very end of the sentence, but in Spanish, Comprendes muy bien la clase is the most natural word order.
Why is there no word for "you" in this sentence?
The "you" is built right into the verb. The -es ending on comprendes tells us exactly who is doing the action (the informal "you", or tú). Because this ending makes it so clear, you don't need to say tú comprendes unless you want to emphasize it.
Since the current lesson is about question words, how would I use one with this sentence?
You can simply place the question word at the beginning! For example, ¿Por qué comprendes muy bien la clase? means "Why do you understand the class very well?" Notice that the word order for the rest of the sentence doesn't need to change at all.
Is comprendes related to the English word "comprehend"?
Yes! The base verb comprender is a cousin of the English word "comprehend," and it is a very common way to say "to understand" in Spanish. Here, it ends in -es because it is a regular -er verb matching with tú (you).
