For spanish learners!! Difference between being "in bed" and "in the bed" I'm not sure if this applies for all the spanish speaker countries but in the case of Argentina there is a big difference between being "en cama" and "en LA cama". Here, to be "in bed"/"en cama" it doesn't mean to be resting in your bed, it actually means that you are either sick or not feeling well. I think americans have a similar phrase which is to "feel under the weather" isn't it? I think I've heard it on TV shows or somewhere else. Anyway, if you want to say that you are in bed, but not sleeping (perhaps reading, watching TV or simply doing nothing) you'll have to say that you are "en LA cama"/"in THE bed" Hope you liked my post!! Do you want to know how i came up with it??? well... ESTOY EN CAMA hahaha (I have a little cold) BYEEEEE
