Questions & Answers about No vamos a pasear hoy porque hace mucho calor.
How do I form the negative near future in this sentence?
The near future is formed with a conjugated form of ir (to go), the word a, and an action verb in its basic, unchanged form (an infinitive). Here, we have vamos a pasear (we are going to take a walk). To make it negative, you simply put no right in front of the conjugated verb vamos.
Why do we use hace instead of a word for "is" (like es or está) to say "it is hot"?
In English we say the weather is a certain way, but in Spanish, common weather expressions use the verb hacer (to make or do). You are literally saying "it makes heat". You cannot use es or está with calor.
The translation says "very hot", so why does the Spanish say mucho (a lot) instead of muy (very)?
What is the difference between pasear and caminar?
While both involve walking, pasear is specifically about taking a stroll, wandering, or going out for leisure and enjoyment. caminar simply refers to the physical action of walking.
