Questions & Answers about Hago mucha comida el fin de semana.
Why is the word for 'I make' hago instead of 'haco'?
Hago is the 'I' (yo) form of the verb hacer (to make / to do). It is an irregular verb! Instead of following the normal pattern to become 'haco', it changes to hago. The other present tense forms follow the rules (like tú haces), but you just have to memorize this special 'I' form.
Why does mucha end in an 'a' here?
The word mucho (a lot / much) must match the gender of the noun it describes. Because comida (food) is a feminine word, mucho changes to the feminine form mucha.
The translation says 'on the weekend', but where is the word for 'on'?
In Spanish, you do not use a direct translation for 'on' when talking about days of the week or the weekend. You simply use the masculine word for 'the', which is el. So, el fin de semana means both 'the weekend' and 'on the weekend' depending on the context.
What is the literal translation of fin de semana?
It literally translates to 'end of week'. Fin means 'end', de means 'of', and semana means 'week'.
