Questions & Answers about El chocolate es mi dulce favorito.
Why is there an "el" before "chocolate"? The English translation just says "Chocolate", not "The chocolate".
In Spanish, when you talk about things in a general sense or state your likes and dislikes, you need to use the definite article (el, la, los, or las). Since we are talking about chocolate in general, we use el chocolate.
I thought "dulce" meant "sweet". Why does it mean "candy" here?
Why is it "dulce favorito" instead of "favorito dulce"?
In Spanish, descriptive adjectives like favorito almost always come after the noun they describe. So, instead of saying "favorite candy", you say "candy favorite" (dulce favorito).
