Questions & Answers about El verano es mi estación favorita.
Why do we say El verano instead of just verano like in English?
In Spanish, you almost always use a definite article (el, la, los, las) when a general concept or category is the subject of a sentence. Since we are talking about summer in general here, it needs the El.
Doesn't estación usually mean a train or bus station?
Yes, it does! The word estación is used for both a transit station and a season of the year. The context of the sentence will easily tell you which one is meant.
Why is the adjective favorita and not favorito?
In Spanish, adjectives must match the noun they describe in gender and number. The word estación is feminine (almost all Spanish words ending in -ión are feminine), so the adjective becomes the feminine singular favorita.
