Hola... Quisiera saber como se diría correctamente a) Does Peter do his homework in the evenings? b) Does Peter do homework in the evenings? Gracias

Both are correct. They could be interpreted differently, though: a) Does Peter do his homework in the evenings? Does he do all of his homework? b) Does Peter do homework in the evenings? Does he do homework (or something else)? Context is everything, though.

aztlaniano said: Welcome, lola77777! Se pueden usar las dos versiones. Tratándose de una pregunta, también podría ser: Does Peter do any home work ...? ( Does Peter do any of his homework in the evenings? Does Peter often/always/usually do (his) homework in the evenings? Hay matices, los significados son algo diferentes. Si pregunto, por ejemplo, "Does Peter do any of his homework in the evening" podría implicar (¿O es que hace las tareas sólo a la hora de comer?) (He traspado esta entrada desde el foro de vocabulario y he pedido que el hilo allí se quite, ya que tenemos este.) Click to expand...
