Cuantos dias tu trabajar por la semana?‏

Question

Cuantos dias tu trabajar por la semana?? How days do you work in a week?

Please correct my sentence construction. Thank you

How many days do you work in a week? / How many days do you work per week? - samdie, Mar 23, 2011

Answer 1

Maybe you should consider how your sentence sounds in English:

Cuantos dias tu trabajar por la semana? = How many days you to work because of the week?

Apart from the punctuation, the verb is not conjugated and it is a mystery why the pronoun "tú" is being used here without a reason (and in a strange position in the sentence, since it would normally be after the verb in this type of questions). Also, "por" means "because (of)" nearly 90% of the time, which is how it would be interpreted here; for the particular effect you are trying to achieve, you normally omit the article.

Try again.

Answer 2

The correct is:

"¿cuántos días trabajas por semana?

Answer 3

I'm a rookie, but I think you need to conjugate that verb and put a ¿ before the question.

Also, when you conjugate the verb you should drop the subject pronoun.

I may be wrong, but I would say "una semana" in the place of "la semana".

Hope that helps!
