"How's the strawberries?" & "I eat strawberries"

Question

To ask "How's the strawberries?" can you tell "¿Cόmo fresas?"

If the answer is 'yes' then, when it comes to "como fresas" the words "cómo" & "como" sounds the same.

How do you know the difference when speaking?

Answer 1

if you are asking how the strawberries are then you would say "cómo son las fresas" or how were the strawberries "cómo eran las fresas" there needs to be a verb in your sentence somewhere. if you were to say that you eat strawberries, you would just say "yo como las fresas" the most important thing is context. the person you are talking to will know what is going on by the context of the sentence.

• There is a verb in his sentence: "is". It's colloquial American slang to replace "are" with "is". He probably picked it up learning English. In this case, it's irrelevant to his question. - Stobber Oct 23, 2009

Answer 2

While "Como son las fresas" is a valid sentence, normally in this context you would say "Como están las fresas" (How do they taste). Answer - "Están buenas".
