WhatsAppでアドバイザーとチャットスペイン語話者がよく犯す間違い
Spanish has different words for “this” and “that” depending on how far something is. In English, we only have two main distances: near or far.
- Mistake 1: Using this for plural things.
In Spanish, you might say “estos libros” (these books). But in English, this is only for one thing.
This are my books.(Incorrect)- These are my books. (Correct)
- Mistake 2: Confusing singular and plural.
Remember to match the demonstrative word with the number of things.
Look at those car.(Incorrect, car is singular)- Look at that car. (Correct)
That are my shoes.(Incorrect, shoes is plural)- Those are my shoes. (Correct)
