| Grammar Notes: 1. "Un astronauta" - "Un" means "a" or "an", indicating one of something. "Astronauta" means "astronaut". So, "Un astronauta" translates to "An astronaut". 2. "toca" - This is the third person singular form of the verb "tocar", which means "to play" (in this context, referring to playing a musical instrument). 3. "una guitarra eléctrica" - "Una" means "a" or "an", indicating one of something (feminine). "Guitarra" means "guitar". "Eléctrica" means "electric", describing the type of guitar. So, "una guitarra eléctrica" translates to "an electric guitar". 4. "en el espacio" - "En" means "in" or "on". "El" is the definite article meaning "the" (masculine). "Espacio" means "space". So, "en el espacio" translates to "in space". 5. "Al fondo" - "Al" is a contraction of "a" (to) + "el" (the), meaning "to the" (masculine). "Fondo" means "background" or "bottom". So, "Al fondo" translates to "In the background" or "At the bottom". 6. "se ve" - This is a reflexive verb construction, with "se" indicating the action is done to or for oneself. "Ve" is the third person singular form of the verb "ver", meaning "to see". So, "se ve" translates to "is seen". 7. "la Tierra" - "La" is the definite article meaning "the" (feminine). "Tierra" means "Earth". So, "la Tierra" translates to "the Earth". Putting it all together: "Un astronauta toca una guitarra eléctrica en el espacio. Al fondo se ve la Tierra." "An astronaut plays an electric guitar in space. In the background, the Earth is seen."
