Can soneone help me with this please?

Why is it mucho instead of Muchas?

Ellas female

Los fines more then one.

I think the correct way to say this would be

Ellas escriben muchas los fines de semana

There's no plural here on the "mucho" at all and it refers to nothing gendered. It's just a adverb.

If they were writing *many somethings* rather than just writing *a lot* then it would be a different story.

Ellas escriben muchas cartas en las fines de semana

Es correcto?

Ellas escriben muchas cartas los fines de semana.

So you're correct now in how to use muchos/muchas. 🎯

- Fin is masculine.

- And in Spanish you would drop the "en".

I'm not a language teacher so I'd have to really think hard to find the logic for those two points.

If you wanted to be fancy you could say... "durante los fines de semana" but that would read more like "over the course of the weekends" rather than "on the weekends". But it would be valid.

It’s because “mucho” in this sentence modifies “escriben” the action of writing. So there’s nothing to do with the subject “ellas”(feminine, plural).
