Answer Question
Mi padre va a montar en bicicleta todos los domingos
Hello,
In "Match the Phrases" (level 3, session 30), the following sentences go together:
My father goes bike riding every Sunday
Mi padre va a montar en bicicleta todos los domingos
Why does the Spanish sentence use the future tense here and not the English one? (I've seen this same construction + translation in previous sessions as well). Wouldn't a more accurate translation be:
Mi padre monta en bicicleta todos los domingos?
If "ir a montar en bicicleta" is a fixed expression, how do we distinguish between the present and future? Mi padre va a ir a montar en bicicleta?
