Did you notice how I used a different sentence pattern?
¿Cuánto es?
“How much is [it]?
First is Cuánto, "How much?" Cuánto (enunciated). Cuánto.
Next is es. "[It] is." Es.
Es is from the verb, ser, meaning "to be."
Note: The "it" is understood from the conjugated form and context.
All together, it's ¿Cuánto es? This literally means "How much is?" but translates as "How much is it?"
¿Cuánto es?
You should be aware of this pattern, but for this lesson, we'll use the sentence pattern
¿Cuánto cuesta ITEM?
"How much does ITEM cost?"
