La lavanda pura está en el gotero.

Questions & Answers about La lavanda pura está en el gotero.

Why do we use está instead of es in this sentence?
We use está (from the verb estar) because the sentence tells us the location of the lavender. When talking about where a physical object is located, you always use estar, even if it is going to be there for a long time.
Why does pura come after lavanda?
In Spanish, adjectives that describe a distinguishing physical trait usually come right after the noun. Here, pura (pure) tells us exactly what kind of lavender it is, distinguishing it from mixed or diluted lavender.
Is there a trick to remembering the word gotero?
Yes! It comes from the word gota, which means a drop of liquid. The ending -ero is often added to nouns to create a word for a container or tool associated with that noun. So, a tool for drops becomes a gotero (dropper).
