"Veo que él come."

What="lo que", "qué"(with accent)

That="que"(without accent)

Is there a difference in pronunciation?

Ohhhh...Thanks I was wondering

¡Muchos gracias! Yo no sabía que

Muchas gracias!

Perfect, thank you!

Gracias

Saxdictator2010, thanks for this, VERY helpful. Have a lingot.

What does the lo stand for

What=lo que (or qué)

that=que

I am seeing what he is eating= Veo lo que él come

I am seeing that he is eating= Veo que él esta comiendo

I put watch what he eats and it said correct answer was i see what he eats.

Que with an accent (Qué) is what. Que normally (Que) is that. Que was in the sentence, so it is that.

On slow each word is pronounced separately, on fast "que" and "él" sound like one word "queél", but I definitely hear the 'l'. Perhaps you were not listening for it in the word before. Try listening to native speakers on Forvo. They have another with "què és això? in which it blends the two 'e's together also on the second page.

Problem between idiomas here . English "I see that he eats" is totally different from "I see what he eats" I got a yes to my answer but I was actually wrong. These little things are teaching me! This is a good thought provoking course. Gratias. Phil

Yes.

I think you are asking about "veo" which means "I see" as "que" means "that" here. "ya entiendo" or "¡ya comprendo!" are used for "I understand".

That would be "Miro cómo come." or "Lo miro comer." To watch is "mirar" or "observar". "ver" is "to see" or "to notice", but it has been used like "mirar" at times. I don't think that duolingo will accept it because you are ignoring the whole "que" with its subordinate clause "I see that he eats." http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-spanish/I%20watch%20him%20eat

Why is he watching him eat anyway?

The 'l' is not included with veo and it is not a preposition but part of the word "él" which is a pronoun that means "he ". It is heard as if it were part of the word before it which is "que" which is the relative conjunction "that". "Veo que él come." is "I see that he eats." You absolutely know that "veo" means "I see ", but "come", without "él" to clarify it, could mean "she eats"(ella come), "he eats"(él come, "it eats" (an animal or monster?), or "you eat" ("Usted come" which is formal singular in Spain). So, it is best to clarify the third person singular form of the verb with a pronoun.

You are right that there could be a different sentence "I see him eat." which would be "Lo veo comer.", but the sentence on this page could mean that a parent is making sure that his child eats "I see that he eats." which would not work with the different version.

No, that is future tense and this is present tense. "I see that he eats." or "I see that he is eating." "el" is "the", but with the accent "él" means "he".

You might say it with something after eats. Perhaps you are at a friend's house and you're talking about their son and you say something like "I see that he eats his vegetables, how'd you manage to get him to do that?" That seems fairly natural to me. Sometimes you just have to remember that we're learning the building blocks now, and that soon it'll start seeming right. :)

See caiser's comment/response above.

No, you could be glad that he is eating. That little boy is hard to get seated at the table long enough to eat. "I see that he eats. Then I give him his bath and put him to bed."

I see that "veo que" is an expression that I want to remember.

Can you please explain how come 'lo que' mean 'what'?

What is the meaning of lo?

That is my point.

"Watch" requires a direct object. "I watch the television." In English you cannot say 'I watch that he eats.' You cannot say 'I look that he eats.' either because"look" requires "at" plus a noun or pronoun used as an object of the preposition at. For this sentence you need to use the verb "see" or "notice".

This is not an imperative (command). Veo is the first person singular present indicative conjugation of ver. That is to say, veo = I see

It is the present tense of the verb: eat, not the past tense "ate".

It sounds as if it were part of the word before "que él", so listen to the word before carefully. There is no "quel" in Spanish and the 'e' sounds a bit longer and the verb "come" comes after it and one of the subjects of "come" is "él". So that is how you figure it out. Developing an ear for Spanish possibilities will come with time. Don't give up!

I believe this has been answered at least once or twice before, but to answer your question directly you would say/write:

¡Ve lo que come!

"See what he eats," requires the use of the imperative mood, which is quite a few branches up the tree. Duolingo doesn't usually test you on what you haven't learned yet.

For more on "lo que," see this post by caiser. If that doesn't clear it up for you, scroll through this thread. Several other posts are related to your question. HTH.

Veo = "i see" in present tense not "(you) see" in imperative mood

if = "si"

"See if he eats." = "¡Ve si come!"

Well, according to WordReference, "watch" is a very close synonym of "see" and both are considered English equivalents, but would we say, in English, "We watch that he eats"? No, we wouldn't. For a good post on the differences between "watch" and "see," read this post by allintolearning. HTH.

I ment ella

It looks as if you have moved on to German, but if you should ever return to Spanish, please see this post for an answer to your question.

BTW, ¡Enhorabuena! It appears you have made it past the second checkpoint in Spanish. Not everybody gets that far with it.

Sí.

It looks as if you're taking a break from Spanish (here at duolingo anyway), but if you should return, and we hope that you do, I want to let you know that kristoffermyrnas and perhaps others as well have already asked this question. Caiser's post answers it quite well, I believe, but if not, you can search through this thread to see if another one makes more sense to you. HTH.
