Four bottles of olive oil

To the next lesson

The longest shopping sentence so far: Cuatro botellas de aceite de oliva, por favor.

In the shop your olive oil sits in a box that is square and red (cuatro). On the box lies the boat with the couple drinking tea and saying “I do”; he gives her a ring shaped like a snake so the plural S is included (botellas).

Then you consider sailing to the other side of the lake where people are drinking tea (de aceite). Once there you think again: you could buy olives, but they have to be bathed to be fresh (de oliva). Behind it stands a house with a gate (por favor).
