"That is an apple. The apple is green. "

Question

How do you say "That is an apple. The apple is green." in Spanish?

Answer 1

Hi Boonie. Welcome to the forum. This is a good example of what's available to you by using the dictionary (located at the top of this screen).

"That is an apple." = Esa es una manzana

"The apple is green." = La manzana es verde

Answer 2

If you are talking about the 'state' of the apple, wouldn't you use 'estar'? If the apple will soon be ripe, maybe it will change colors?

Por ejemplo: La manzana no está madura, así que el color está verde. Estas manzanas están maduras, así que están de color roja. En cambio, las agujas de un pino son verdes porque nunca cambian color. ¿Esto es equivocado?

You could use "estar" if you are talking about an unripe apple, yes. - --Mariana--, JUN 8, 2010

Answer 4

Welcome, Boonie.

I am just stating that "That apple is green" would sound better "This apple is green" or "The apple is green"

To say "That is an apple. The apple is green":

Eso es una manzana. La manzana es verde.
