Today - Seasons of the year
Primavera - Spring
Verano - Summer
Otoño - Autumn
Invierno - Winter
De donde verano frutas en la supermercado por favor?
Where are summer fruits in the supermarket please?
Nearly,
Donde están - where are plural objects, would be está for singular (the accent over a vowel means that emphasis is given in pronounciation. Sometimes the accent also distinguished between two diferent meanings of the same spelling e.g. sà means yes, si means if
de los frutos de verano - the fruits of summer, again los for plural masculine fruits/summer, el for singular and La/las for singular/plural feminine
verano is masculine as should be el rather than la
So the sentence should read:
¿dónde están los frutos de verano en el supermercado
Bilmey I'll never get the hang of this. Will keep trying tho
