Hello!
Can you help me, please?
What is the translation of this sentence?
Expresar EL PROP�SITO POR EL QUE la gente va a distintos lugares de una ciudad.
To express EL PROP�SITO POR EL QUE people go to different places in a city.
For example:
I go to the supermarket to buy food and drinks.
Thank you!

To express/explain/say why people go to (different) places in a city.
I go to the hospital, because my friend is sick.
I go to the bus station to catch the morning bus to Lisbon.
(I guess you are trying to define goals for a Unit/lesson. There is a MUST to it: KISS: keep it small & simple)

"Say(Explain) the reason why people would go to/visit different places in a city."
I �m assuming it �s for an exercise in class...

It �s obviously a mistranslation from English grammar, wanting to enhance clauses of purpose ( �prop�sito �, although we �d call them �final �). The normal translation would be why they go to..., as said above, obviously. |
