Español: La Casa pt.2

Question

Answer the questions you see based on what you do with this item or where this item might be in your house. Be sure to write in complete sentences in Spanish. I wrote this so far: ¿Dónde están las cosas muy frías en tu cocina? --> Las cosas más frías en la cocina están en el refrigerador. ¿Dónde está tu ropa? --> La pongo en el armario. ¿Qué hay en las ventanas? --> Hay cortinas en las ventanas. ¿Dónde te lavas las manos? --> Las lavo manos en la cocina. ¿Qué usa tu madre para cocinar? --> Mi madre usa el horno para cocinar

Answer 1

Good job on putting your attempts in instead of just asking. You'll find you'll get more and faster help around here if you fill out your profile fully, as it gives potential answerers a bit of context to go on. Please do so if you get a chance.

Your answers look pretty good except for the next to last, and I bet it will seem obvious to you in hindsight.

¿Dónde te lavas las manos? --> Las lavo manos en la cocina.

You need to leave out the manos, as Las already refers to them.

Las lavo en la cocina..

On top of that, rather than just in the cocina, the kitchen, you might want to say either fregadero or lavabo. (respectively, the kitchen sink or the bathroom sink)

I was thinking of this. Me lavo las manos en el baño. What do you think? - swampy, Feb 7, 2013

Sounds good. And equivalent to en la cocina, since both mention a room. I was maybe being too literal or specific, and mentioning that it was specifically in the sink (and also implicitly in which room, since those two rooms have different names for sink - rogspax, Feb 7, 2013

Gran respuesta, como siempre, Rogspax. :) Solo una sugerencia... Si dices "Me las lavo en la cocina" suena mejor. ;) - Cordobesa, Feb 7, 2013
