"Hacemos una canasta por hora."

Translation: We make one basket per hour.

[peterchamp]

I agree with cannonsr that "a basket an hour" is interchangeable with "a basket per hour." We do this frequently in English. "I earn $8 an hour" "I'm driving 65 miles an hour."

Why is it a basket per hour instead of a basket an hour? I think I use them interchangeably in English.

[rocko2012]

"a" is a synonym for "per". And "an" is used in your sentence instead of "a" because of the leading vowel sound in "hour" but it still has to mean the same as "a". So unless there is some rule against "an" meaning "per" I say your translation is acceptable

Can it be "Hacemos una canasta a la hora"? Just as "Yo corro una vez a la semana"

Hacer means to do or make, so I don't understand why "We do a basket hourly" is incorrect.

Why "we make one basket by hour" is wrong?

[Athalia2]

"By hour" isn't grammatical in English. It would sound more correct to say "by the hour," but "per hour" sounds better still. I believe "per hour" is also a closer translation of "por hora."

[bchiverton]

I put 'we make a basket every hour' and got it correct!

[ozytodd]

why cant it be ,we make a basket in one hour ?

[Sfdoc]
