Questions & Answers about Ella almuerza con la familia.
Why is the verb almuerza spelled with a "ue" instead of an "o"?
The infinitive verb for "to have lunch" is almorzar. It is a "stem-changing" verb, meaning the o in the middle changes to ue in the present tense for most forms, including ella (she). This is why almorzar becomes almuerza.
In English we say "has lunch," which is two words. Why is it only one word in Spanish?
Could I drop the word ella and just say Almuerza con la familia?
Yes, you can often drop subject pronouns in Spanish! However, because the verb form almuerza can mean "he has lunch," "she has lunch," or "you (formal) have lunch," including ella is a good way to clarify exactly who you are talking about.
Why is it la familia instead of las familias when a family has multiple people?
