Questions & Answers about La médica va a enseñar las normas de seguridad.
Why is the feminine form La médica used here instead of el médico?
In Spanish, professions change their endings to match the gender of the person. Because the doctor here is a woman, we use the feminine article la and change the ending of the noun to make it médica.
Why does the sentence say va a enseñar instead of using a future tense word?
Doesn't the verb enseñar usually mean 'to show'?
Why is 'safety rules' translated as normas de seguridad?
Unlike English, Spanish doesn't usually put a descriptive noun directly in front of another noun. Instead, you use the formula 'noun + de + noun'. So, 'safety rules' becomes normas de seguridad (literally: rules of safety).
How would I change this sentence to say 'One must teach the safety rules' using the hay que structure from this lesson?
