From Lesson 63:Basic Food and Drink·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about Comes mucha fruta.

Why is there no word for "you" in this sentence?
In Spanish, the ending of the verb tells you who is doing the action. Because comes ends in -es, it already means "you eat" (informal singular). You don't need to add the pronoun tú unless you want to add special emphasis.
Why is it mucha instead of mucho?
The word for "a lot" changes to match the gender of the noun it describes. Because fruta is a feminine noun, the masculine word mucho changes to its feminine form, mucha.
Why is fruta singular here? Could I say muchas frutas?
Just like in English, "fruit" is usually treated as a singular, uncountable concept when talking about eating it generally. You would only use the plural frutas if you were talking specifically about different types of fruit.
Could comes also mean "you are eating"?
Yes! In Spanish, a simple present tense verb like comes can mean both "you eat" (as a general habit) and "you are eating" (right now). The context of your conversation will make it clear which one is meant.
