When David drinks a lot of alcohol, he...
- A.
Está sueño
- B.
Está cansado
- C.
Tiene sueño
- D.
Tiene cansado
Correct Answer
C. Tiene sueñoExplanation
David tiene sueño, "David is sleepy" (Literally "David has sleepiness")
He is sueño because he wants to sleep. He isn't cansado, because he hasn't been running or doing something that would make him physically tired.
Also, TENER (to have) is used instead of ESTAR (to be) because Sueño is a NOUN, not an ADJECTIVE.Rate this question:
