In English, "ama de casa" translates to "housewife." This term is commonly used to refer to a woman who manages the household and takes care of domestic duties. If you want to practice, you could use it in sentences like: "She is a housewife" or "My mother is a housewife."
La palabra "this" se traduce al español como "este" o "esta", y se usa para referirse a un objeto o persona singular que está cerca. Por otro lado, "these" se traduce como "estos" o "estas", y se utiliza para referirse a varios objetos o personas que también están cerca. En el contexto de la clase, cuando presentas a alguien dirías "this is my friend" (esta es mi amiga) para una persona, y "these are my friends" (estos son mis amigos) para más de una.
**THIS**: singular **THESE ARE**: plural
Thanks for this!
