In the sentence:"Hay muchas historias sobre dónde y cuándo Piña coladas fueron encontrar," is fueron correct? or do I use eran instead?

I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.

I appreciate that, thank you

fueron is good, concentrating on when they began. However the infinitive "encontrar" will not work here. You need the adjectival form = encontradas (feminine plural to agree with "coladas."

Piñas should also be plural.

I'll flag this and come back later t o see if you have additional questions.

Sra

Fueran is good. I am not sure about the pina being plural because coladas is already plural. Also like the sra said encontradas should be in the place of encoutrar.

To determine whether "fueron" or "eran" is correct in the sentence "Hay muchas historias sobre dónde y cuándo Piña coladas fueron encontrar," we need to consider the tense and the subject being referred to.

"Fueron" is the preterite tense form of the verb "ser" or "ir" in the third person plural (ellos/ellas) form. This tense indicates a completed action in the past.

"Eran" is the imperfect tense form of the verb "ser" in the third person plural (ellos/ellas) form. This tense indicates an ongoing or habitual action in the past.

In this sentence, we are talking about the stories or legends of where and when Piña Coladas were found. We are not referring to a specific event or action in the past, but rather to a continuous state or condition. Therefore, the correct form to use is "eran."

The corrected sentence would be: "Hay muchas historias sobre dónde y cuándo las Piña Coladas eran encontrar."
