Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [qui] can be contrasted for practice with the key sound [ci].
- Indefinite articles 'unos' and 'unas' mean 'some' before masculine and feminine plural nouns.
- 'Hay' means 'there is' or 'there are' depending whether it precedes a singular or plural noun.
Common misconception
'Hay' changes when followed by a plural, as 'there is' does in English, changing to 'there are'.
'Hay' means 'there is' and 'there are'. The word stays the same but the meaning changes when followed by a plural noun.
