Question

Translate the following command. Capitalization or beginning and ending punctuation aren't necessary, but spelling and accents are.

Let's watch a movie.

Answer 1

Veamos una pelicula. > Let's watch a movie in Spanish 

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Veamos una película.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Spanish there isn’t a direct translation for the use of the word “Let’s” as used in this sentence to express a command or a suggestion. Rather, in Spanish language, the verb is conjugated in its imperative form and then it’s followed by the direct complement (“una pelicula”).

In this case the verb watch is translated to the verb “ver” and then conjugated to the imperative form for the first person of the plural (“nosotros”).

Note: When translating directly from English it isn’t clear that the command is directed to a “we” form (“nosotros”). Nevertheless, this translation uses the “nosotros” pronoun because using other personal pronoun might not be as accurate.
