Why advertise?

Question

I am having a hard time with this one:

Why advertise in the paper?

I don't know whether the verb after 'por que' should be conjugated or the infiintive.

'Por que anunciarse en el periodico?

The sentence is being used as a title to a list of reasons why you should advertise in the paper.

Answer 1

The right way is "Porqué anunciar en el periódico".
If you use "anunciarse" is still gramatically correct, but that would mean someting like " why advertise yourself in the paper'". The first is more generic and sounds better.

Answer 2

gracias

Answer 3

The right way is "Porqué anunciar en el periódico".

The right way is "Por qué", since here it is not a noun (el porqué), but an adverbial phrase.

Answer 4

Oops!!!
