Is changing Cerramos los sábados to Se cierran los sábados correct?
Or is it Se cierra los sabados?
To determine the correct form, we need to consider the subject and verb agreement in Spanish. The phrase "Cerramos los sábados" translates to "We close on Saturdays." Let's break it down:
1. The subject is "we" - "nosotros" in Spanish.
2. The verb "to close" is "cerrar" in Spanish.
To make the sentence using the reflexive verb form "se cierran" or the non-reflexive form "se cierra", we need to conjugate the verb correctly according to the subject:
- If the subject is "we" (nosotros), then the correct form would be "se cierran" as the verb agrees with the subject in the third person plural.
- If the subject is a singular noun or "it" (él/ella), then the correct form would be "se cierra" as the verb agrees with the subject in the third person singular.
So, the correct form for "We close on Saturdays" would be "Se cierran los sábados", using the reflexive form of the verb to match the subject "nosotros".
