Commenting on events in Spanish

A comment responds to information or an event.

The idea

Use comentar with a direct object or comentar que before a statement.

Comento la noticia con mi hermana.I discuss the news with my sister.
Ella comenta que el tren llega tarde.She comments that the train is late.
Comentamos el partido después de cenar.We discuss the match after dinner.
¿Comentaste el cambio con tu equipo?Did you discuss the change with your team?
El público comentó la exposición.The public commented on the exhibition.
Mi vecino comenta que abrirán una biblioteca.My neighbor says that a library will open.

Read-aloud uses a synthetic Spanish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.

Do not insert de before the direct object: say comentar la noticia.
