Questions & Answers about Busco cualquier pluma que haga un trazo grueso.
Why is it cualquier pluma and not cualquiera pluma, since pluma is feminine?
Why is the subjunctive haga used here instead of the indicative hace?
We use the subjunctive haga because the speaker is looking for a pen that fits a description, but they don't have a specific one in mind yet. When the thing you are describing in a 'que' clause is unknown, indefinite, or might not even exist (which is heavily signaled here by cualquier), Spanish uses the subjunctive.
Why isn't there a word for 'for' after Busco?
What exactly does un trazo grueso mean?
The word trazo refers to a stroke or a line drawn by a pen, pencil, or brush. The adjective grueso means thick or heavy. Together, it just means the speaker wants a pen that writes with a thick line.
