"El documento tiene muchas páginas."

Translation: The document has a lot of pages.

"The document contains many pages" - what's wrong here?

[nianders]

it is too formal

[Ekedin]

Tiene means "to have"

[hharr1]

" A lot of pages" is poor English. Page is a countable noun, as distinct from, say, air or water. Therefore the answer should be "many pages" rather than "a lot of."

[winkingAtSpiders]

This is just not true. We tend to use "many" in questions and negatives. "A lot of" is the correct answer for a positive sentence

[J.C.Fink]

"A lot of" is more informal speech in English as I have encountered it. "Many" can be used in questions, negatives, or positive statements perfectly naturally. So can "a lot of" - it's just more casual.

[joyceluna3]

a lot of ....is not bad grammar but seems slangy to me whereas many sounds better???

[Som1one]

why did it reject 'the document has many chapters'?

[jeroen0980]

because a chapter can be written on many pages

[Forrest_Red_Dog]

Doesn't "Documento" imply I document (something)? It's just a bit confusing.

[Rfisler]

The document has "got" many pages in incorrect English.

[krystaIoannidis]

when i press on the spanish word for document it puts an (I) in front of it and that confused me because it is i document

[Glamburgers]

I think 'document' can be used as a verb. As in: 'I documented my discovery.' Tell me if I'm wrong. Hope this helped!

[bill675765]

whats wrong with "many pages"?

[J.C.Fink]

Not a darn thing.

[Rosalia371339]

It accepted "many pages" for me.

[jackpetrak1]

i said "this document has many pages"

[Glamburgers]

'This document has many pages' would be 'Este documento tiene muchas paginas.' I know, though, it's easy to mix them up! Hope this helps you!

[mazanzala]

I wrote "the document has more pages"... what's wrong there?

[Glamburgers]

Well, 'muchas' can't be translated as 'more'. That would be 'El documento tiene màs paginas'. Hope that this helps!

[arossel]

pages is also translated with sheets

[SuePearce2]

There is no option for lots!!!!

[Zorana907843]

The document has many pages. - why is this wrong?

[PrashantAc1]

What is wrong in "The document has lot of pages"? Why is it required to mention - "lots of pages"?

[Irina644195]

The document has a lot of pages would have worked. What you typed in was missing the "a" before lot.

[Breezeshadow]

Yeah. The document has lot of pages is inproper English.

[Irina644195]

Why is "The document has many pages" wrong??

[Rosalia371339]

That worked for me. I think they have changed it since you tried.

[buttercup13132]

aaaawwwww. It doesn't accept "Their are a LOT of pages in that document!"

[joyceluna3]

yes i wondered why tiene is there at all it is because documento could be an "it' therefore tiene?

[ImehValerie]

I think duo gives different correct. I put " the documents has many pages" and it marked me wrong and put the correct answer as "the documents contains many pages" which duo marked wrong for somw people from the coments here. Am just so confused with duo. My husband is Spaniard and said my answer was correct.
