  2. No Anonymous. La frase dice "How much does she have...?" Es una pregunta que utiliza "DOES" por lo que ya no tienes que poner la "s" y debes poner HAVE. Si tienes alguna duda, por favor pregúntanos a cualquiera de las profesoras.

    No Anonymous. The sentence says "How much does she have...?" It's a question, so you must use DOES and then you mustn't write "has" but "HAVE". if you have any question, please ask any of the teachers.
