Common Mistakes

  • ¿Está en 123 Main Street?

    ‘Está’ asks about the current location, not whether it remains there over time. Use ‘sigue’ to convey continuity.

  • ¿Sigué en 123 Main Street?

    The verb form should be ‘sigue’ (present). ‘Sigué’ is a past‑tense form and changes the meaning.

  • ¿Sigue en 123 Calle Principal?

    When the street name is in English, keep it unchanged; do not translate ‘Main Street’ to ‘Calle Principal’ unless you’re fully Spanish‑only.

Alternatives

  • ¿Todavía está en 123 Main Street?

  • ¿Sigue ubicado en 123 Main Street?

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking cities, addresses are usually given as ‘calle + número’ (e.g., ‘Calle Principal 123’). When the street name is in English, speakers typically keep it unchanged, but they may still use the Spanish preposition ‘en’ and the verb ‘seguir’ to ask about the location. Be mindful of the register: ‘sigue’ is neutral and works in both formal and informal contexts, while ‘todavía está’ feels slightly more conversational.
