Question

Which of the following responses is NOT grammatically correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

La respuesta que no es gramaticalmente correcta es: Está desde del supermecado.

Explanation:

El enunciado anterior es incorrecto ya que al brindarse una dirección debe ser mas específicos y brindar puntos de referencias como se muestran en los otros ejemplos que se menciona a la derecha, izquierda o enfrente del supermercado. También la respuesta es incorrecta porque la dirección se encuentra incompleta ya que después de la palabra "desde" no especifica nada mas y eso hace la oración ambigua.

Translation:

The answer that is not grammatically correct is: It is from the supermarket.

Explanation:

The above statement is incorrect because when giving an address should be more specific and provide reference points as shown in the other examples mentioned on the right, left or in front of the supermarket. Also, the answer is incorrect because the address is incomplete since after the word "from" it does not specify anything else, and that makes the sentence ambiguous.

Answer 2

Answer:

NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT: Está DESDE del supermercado.

Explanation:

The right option is the last one: ESTÁ DESDE DEL SUPERMERCADO, but why?

Well, the other three options have the following words: DERECHA, IZQUIERDA and ENFRENTE, which are ADVERBS, specifically ADVERBS OF PLACE, which appears inside the sentence to show the location of what is said by the conjugated verb. So we have:

1. Está a la DERECHA del supermercado/ It is to the right of the supermarket

2. Está a la IZQUIERDA del supermercado/ It is to the left of the supermarket

3. Está ENFRENTE del supermercado/ It is in front of the supermarket.

By the other hand, we have that the last option is “DESDE” del supermercado. “DESDE” belongs to the prepositions category, which contains the words used to link parts of the sentence and complements, and this is why grammatically this one is mistaken.

When producing sentences in Spanish, we always have to remember what is the function of each word and in which position it is supposed to appear. It will always make things easier for us.
