My Spanish teacher gave me questions to answer about an article, and one of the questions is, "¿Qué hace el la capital?" What does that mean? Is that correct grammar?
Muchas Gracias.

The sentence "¿Qué hace el la capital?" does not have sense in spanish.
1) "el la capital" is like you say in english "the the capital"
2) What kind of capital? a country capital?. In this case the verb make as "hacer" does not have sense.
3) The other meaning i know is about economy. The capital is the total money that you have for any business.

What subject? Geography? If so, I would guess "What makes it the capital?", as in why is the city of Somewhere the capital of Anywhere?

If that were true, it would be, "¿Qué lo hace el capital?" Then again, instead of that, I probably would have said, "¿Qué hace que ser el capital?" -- "What causes it to be the capital?" - bben15, Nov 4, 2014
Thanks, bben. I thought I might be wrong because of the "el la." :-) - Winkfish, Nov 4, 2014
By the way, what was the article about? - Winkfish, Nov 4, 2014
