Questions & Answers about ¿Qué hicisteis con las copas y las servilletas?
Why is it hicisteis and not hacisteis?
Are there any accent marks on hicisteis or other forms of this verb?
No. While regular verbs in the preterite tense often have accent marks (like comí or habló), this special group of irregular i-stem verbs (like hacer, querer, and venir) never use accent marks in any of their forms.
Why use copas for glasses instead of vasos?
In Spanish, the word for a drinking glass changes depending on its shape. A vaso is a standard flat-bottomed glass (like for water or juice), while a copa specifically refers to a glass with a stem, like a wine glass or a champagne flute.
Why does the sentence say las copas y las servilletas instead of just las copas y servilletas?
In English, we often group items under a single word 'the' (the glasses and napkins). In Spanish, you usually have to repeat the definite article (el, la, los, las) for each noun in a list, so you must literally say 'the glasses and the napkins.'
