La computadora/ lejos/ las ventanas

Answer 1

Hi Taylor,

If you are trying to form a sentence with the verb ESTAR to state that "the computer is far from the window," I can help you out!

Because "la computadora" is a singular object, it uses the él/ella/usted conjugation of estar. The conjugations are as follows:

Yo estoy

Tú estás

Él/ella/usted está

Nosotros estamos

Vosotros estáis

Ellos/ellas/ustedes están

As I said, "la computadora" is a singular object, and the conjugation of estar that follows is therefore "está." So now we have "La computadora está lejos/la ventana." All we need to do now is find a preposition that goes between "lejos" and "la ventana."

Words like "lejos", meaning far, and "cerca", meaning close, and other adjectives that describe relativity between two things, are followed by the preposition "de", unless the sentence is comparing two nouns, in which case you would use "que" (example: "Yo soy más alta que mi hermana."). However, in this case, nothing is being compared, so you would use "de".

Your complete sentence is "La computadora está lejos de las ventanas." Hope this helped!
