Here's the hint we gave you: follow the EN phrase order

The above hint is given for this exercise, but what is the "EN phrase order"? - I've tried searching for this but I can't find anything.

Hola Geoff G.

The hint refers to keeping the Spanish sentence structure as close as possible to the English phrase order. In this case, the English sentence 'is also famous' follows the pattern: [verb] + [adverb] + [adjective]. To match this structure, the Spanish translation should maintain the same order: "es también famoso" rather than other natural Spanish rearrangements like "también es famoso".

While Spanish often allows for flexibility in word order, this hint suggests keeping it in a direct, English-like sequence for consistency or clarity in the exercise.

Let me know if you need more clarification! 😊

Un saludo

Silvia
