Questions & Answers about Me duelen mucho los pies.
Why is it duelen instead of duele?
Why does the Spanish sentence use los pies (the feet) instead of mis pies (my feet)?
In Spanish, it is standard to use the definite article (el, la, los, las) rather than possessive words like mi or mis when talking about body parts. We already know whose feet are hurting because the sentence starts with me (to me).
Since los pies is plural, shouldn't mucho be pluralized as muchos?
Could I change the word order and say Los pies me duelen mucho?
