Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Spanish (Mexico)
@mellisajonnnn1266 In this sentence "La agua" the sound /a/ is repetitive so the expression sound wierd then the article is changed to "El". In spanish the article change when the last letter from the article sound same the first letter than noun.
