Questions & Answers about La fe es lo que da fuerza al creyente.
Why do we say La fe instead of just Fe like in English?
In Spanish, abstract nouns (like fe for faith, amor for love, or paz for peace) require a definite article when they are the subject of a sentence or when you are speaking about the concept in a general sense.
Why is it lo que instead of just qué for the word what?
Qué with an accent is used for asking direct or indirect questions. When you want to say the thing that or that which in the middle of a statement, you use the relative pronoun lo que. Here, lo que da fuerza means the thing that gives strength.
How does the word creyente relate to the verb for to believe?
Why is al used right before creyente?
Al is a mandatory contraction of the preposition a (to) and the masculine singular article el (the). Because the sentence says faith gives strength to the believer, a and el combine into al.
