Question

is comida a verb present tense of comer

Answer 1

No, "comida" is not a verb; it is a noun in Spanish that means "food" or "meal." The present tense verb form of "comer" (to eat) is "comiendo" (eating) in the gerund form, or "come" for the third person singular form (he/she/it eats).

Here’s a quick breakdown:

- **Comer** (to eat) - infinitive form
- **Comiendo** (eating) - gerund
- **Come** (he/she eats) - present tense, third person singular

So, "comida" refers to food, while "comer" is the verb meaning to eat!
