It would make more sense to say "I am building a hotel here" or "I will build a hotel here" but the phrase "I build a hotel here" sounds kind of awkward and isn't common to hear.
I wrote the same. I teach ESL and using the simple present here doesnt make much sense since it isn't something regular and build is also action word. Although if translated from korean it isnt the present continuous so I understand why I got it marked wrong.
The answer should include both a and the.
With a course this fresh, it's best to make as many correction suggestions as possible.
Why is 여기에 used instead of 여기에서? From my understanding, 에서 is used when an action is taking place somewhere.

In English this sentence is not common, so am I to understand that this means "I'm building a hotel here" or "I've built a hotel here"?
Could 여기에서 work? From my understanding 에 is for simple static locations, but here it's being specific about the action at the location so wouldn't 여기에서 be correct? I still have problems with these two particles ;;
The last question I had to translate this exact sentence and I put 저는 호텔을 여기에 지어요 and it marked it as correct. I wrote the same thing this time and it says its incorrect.
So why in Korean when you have to solve what it says it looks like they say the sentence backwards. (ik u might not understand what im trying to say im 11 so idk another way to put it lol)
