Questions & Answers about Aprendemos español en la ciudad.

How do we know Aprendemos means "we learn" if the word for "we" isn't there?
The verb aprender (to learn) is a regular -er verb. By taking off the -er and adding -emos, we get aprendemos. That specific ending tells us the subject is "we" (nosotros or nosotras), so we usually leave the pronoun out.
Is the "we" ending the same for all regular verbs?
Not quite! For -ar verbs, the ending is -amos (like hablamos). But since this lesson is about -er verbs like aprender, the ending changes to match the verb type, becoming -emos.
Why isn't español capitalized in this sentence?
In English, we always capitalize languages, but Spanish doesn't. Languages and nationalities are always written with lowercase letters in Spanish unless they are the very first word of a sentence.
How do I know ciudad is feminine and needs la?
As a general rule, Spanish nouns ending in -dad (like ciudad or universidad) are feminine. That's why it uses the feminine word for "the", which is la.
