Questions & Answers about ¿Viajas en tren?
Where is the word for "Do" in this question?
Why do we use en here instead of a word for "by"?
In Spanish, when you talk about traveling using a vehicle or mode of transport (like a train, car, or bus), you use the preposition en. So, while English says "by train", Spanish says en tren.
This lesson is about question words like cómo and cuándo. Why aren't any used here?
This is a simple "yes or no" question, so no question word is needed. Instead of looking for a specific word like cuándo, the upside-down question mark (¿) at the very beginning is your instant clue that a question is being asked.
