Errores habituales de los hispanohablantes

For Spanish speakers, a common point to remember is the difference between singular and plural forms. In English, many plural forms add an -s, but some words are irregular.

  • Correcto: one hand, two hands
  • Correcto: one eye, two eyes
  • But be careful with: one foot, two feet (not two ‘foots’)

Also, remember to use articles like a o an for singular nouns, or possessive adjectives like my, your.

  • Correcto: I have a nose.
  • Correcto: This is my arm.
