Quiz: Carlos Prometà Nueva Casa a Lucy Cheat Sheet
- "DÃa" is Masculine - Spanish often surprises with gender rules: words ending in "a" aren't always feminine. Always say "el dÃa" and "buenos dÃas" to greet properly and avoid sounding off. StudySpanish.com: Top Ten Mistakes
- Skip Word‑for‑Word Translations - Directly translating every word can create awkward or incorrect phrases. For example, "I'm going to buy a pair of pants" becomes simply "Voy a comprar pantalones." Let the meaning guide your translation, not the English structure. StudySpanish.com: Top Ten Mistakes
- "Ser" vs. "Estar" for Location - Use "ser" when talking about where events happen, like "La fiesta es en la casa." Switch to "estar" for locations of objects or people, such as "El perro está en el jardÃn." Mastering this difference will make you sound more native. StudySpanish.com: Top Ten Mistakes
- Watch Those False Cognates - Not every word that looks familiar means the same thing in Spanish. "Asistir" actually means "to attend," not "to assist." Keep a list of false friends handy to steer clear of embarrassing mix‑ups. StudySpanish.com: Top Ten Mistakes
- "Gente" is Singular - Although "gente" means "people," it behaves like a singular noun. Always say "La gente es amable," never "La gente son amable." Treat "gente" like a single, friendly crowd! SpanishDict Guide: Common Mistakes
- Use "Tener" for Age - In English we say "I am 16 years old," but in Spanish you "have" age: "Tengo 16 años." Saying "Soy 16 años" will raise eyebrows - stick with "tener" for all your birthdays. SpanishDict Guide: Common Mistakes
- Adjectives Follow Nouns - Unlike English, Spanish adjectives typically come after the noun they modify. It's "una casa grande," not "una grande casa." Remembering this order will make your descriptions shine. FluentU: Common Spanish Mistakes
- Drop the Redundant Pronouns - Spanish verbs already show who's doing the action, so you rarely need "yo" or "tú." Simply say "Hablo español" instead of "Yo hablo español." It's shorter, snappier, and more natural! Langbox: Mistakes in Spanish
- Avoid False Friends Like "Embarazada" - Don't let familiar looks fool you: "embarazada" means "pregnant," not "embarrassed." Double‑check any word that looks like English to keep your meaning spot‑on. SpanishDict Guide: Common Mistakes
- Remember the Silent "H" - In Spanish, the letter "h" is always silent, so "hola" sounds like "ola." Dropping sounds you don't pronounce will instantly boost your confidence and clarity. FluentU: Common Spanish Mistakes
