Question 1

Why does it say los domingos instead of using a word for 'on'?

Accepted Answer

In Spanish, you don't use a word like 'on' before days of the week. Instead, you just use the definite article (el for a single day, los for multiple days). So, los domingos translates perfectly to 'on Sundays'.

Question 2

How do you make days of the week plural?

Accepted Answer

For days that end in a vowel, like domingo (Sunday), you just add an -s to make it domingos. But remember, for weekdays that already end in an -s (like lunes or martes), the day word itself doesn't change. You only change the article from el to los (for example, los lunes).

Question 3

Where is the word for 'we' in this sentence?

Accepted Answer

It's built right into the verb! Visitamos is the 'we' form of visitar (to visit). Because the -amos ending already tells us who is doing the action, the pronoun nosotros (we) is usually left out to sound more natural.

Question 4

Why is por qué written as two words with an accent mark here?

Accepted Answer

When it means 'why' in a question, it is always written as two separate words with an accent on the e: por qué. If you see it written as one word with no accent (porque), it means 'because'.
