Breakdown of Vamos a la playa cada semana.
Questions & Answers about Vamos a la playa cada semana.
In this lesson about frequency adverbs like siempre, why is cada semana at the end of the sentence?
While single-word adverbs like siempre (always) or nunca (never) usually go right before the verb, longer time phrases like cada semana (every week) generally go at the very end or the very beginning of the sentence. Can I say todas las semanas instead of cada semana?
Yes! Todas las semanas (literally "all the weeks") is another very common way to say "every week." Both mean the same thing. Just remember that while cada is a fixed word that never changes form, todas las must match the feminine, plural noun semanas. Why do we use a la playa instead of en la playa?
Because the verb vamos (we go) shows movement toward a destination. Spanish uses the preposition a (to) for movement towards a place. You would use en (in or at) to talk about where you already are, like in Estamos en la playa (We are at the beach). Is it wrong if I add nosotros at the beginning of the sentence?
It isn't wrong, but it isn't necessary. Because vamos is specifically the "we" form of the verb ir (to go), it's completely clear who is doing the action. Native speakers usually leave out words like nosotros unless they want to add special emphasis. Learn Vamos a la playa cada semana and more in Spanish
