Use of 'Están'
Hi everyone...
In this picture, we have a man and woman eating lunch and one of those 'speaking' bubbles emerging out of his head that says: Hoy es Lunes. Estan almorzando Which I would think is: Today is Monday. We are having lunch. When I go to the Dictionary Search and look up Estar and then choose conjugate 'to be', it shows as 'estamos' for we...not estan. Which is correct? Or is there something 'deeper' here and I'm about to go chasing down another rabbit hole. Thanks a lot!!!! |

If they are speaking, they should say: "estamos almorzando". But maybe, as you're not in the picture, the author say: "están almorzando".

Well, I didn't because of the 'speaking bubble'. If I was just looking at the picture without the bubble that's what I would think, but with the bubble I thought it would be 'we'. Isn't that right?
