Questions & Answers about Él trabaja constantemente en el proyecto.
The lesson says to add '-mente' to the feminine form of an adjective. Why doesn't constante change to end in 'a'?
The adjective here is constante (constant). Adjectives that end in -e don't have separate masculine and feminine forms — they stay exactly the same for both genders. Since there is no special feminine form ending in 'a', you just take the standard word constante and add -mente to make constantemente.
Why does Él have an accent mark here?
The accent mark is there to tell the difference between él (he) and el (the). If you forgot the accent, it would look like you were saying 'The works constantly', which wouldn't make sense!
In English we say we work 'on' a project. Why does Spanish use en instead of a word for 'on' like sobre?
Could I put constantemente at the very end of the sentence instead?
