Questions & Answers about Hago la comida y tú la comes.
I see the word la twice in this sentence. Are they doing the same thing?
Why does la come before the verb comes? In English we say "eat it", not "it eat".
In Spanish, direct object pronouns like lo, la, los, and las almost always go directly before the main action verb. So "you eat it" becomes tú la comes.
Why does the sentence use tú (you) but drop the Spanish word for "I" (yo)?
In Spanish, you can usually leave out words like yo and tú because the verb ending already tells us who is doing the action (hago means "I make", comes means "you eat"). However, the speaker included tú here to create a strong contrast: I do the cooking, and YOU do the eating!
