Questions & Answers about Mi hermano busca un piso en marzo o abril.

Why aren't marzo and abril capitalized?
In Spanish, months of the year like marzo (March) and abril (April) are written in lowercase letters unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence. The same rule applies to days of the week!
Do you always use en before a month?
Yes! Just like in English, you use the preposition en (in) right before the month to say when something happens.
Why is there no Spanish word for 'for' after busca?
The verb buscar means 'to look for' all by itself. Because 'for' is already built into the meaning of the action, you never need to add an extra word after it. You just say busca un piso (looks for an apartment).
Is piso the normal word for apartment in Spain?
Yes, in Spain, piso is the most common word for a standard flat or apartment. In Latin American countries, you are much more likely to hear apartamento or departamento.
