Questions & Answers about Pronuncio bien el español.
Why is it el español and not just español?
In Spanish, you generally need the definite article (el) before the name of a language. You usually only drop it immediately after a few specific verbs like hablar, aprender, or estudiar, or after the prepositions en or de. Since the verb here is pronunciar, the el stays!
Can I put bien at the end of the sentence, like we do in English?
You will be understood if you say Pronuncio el español bien, but putting bien right after the verb is the much more natural word order in Spanish. Adverbs that describe how an action is done usually stick very close to the verb, before the direct object.
How would I change this to say "It's logical that I pronounce Spanish well" using this lesson's grammar?
You would use the impersonal expression es lógico que followed by the present subjunctive of pronunciar. The sentence becomes Es lógico que pronuncie bien el español. Notice how the ending changes from the indicative -o to the subjunctive -e.
