Key learning points

  1. The sound-symbol correspondence [ce] can be contrasted for practice with the key sound [ci].
  2. Numbers 1-12 go before nouns to indicate how many there are. Numbers do not change their spelling.
  3. Adding -s to nouns ending in -o, -a or -e makes them plural.
  4. '¿Tienes?' means 'Do you have?' There is no word for 'do' in intonation questions.

Keywords

  • Ce - pronounced as in the word 'centro'

  • Ci - pronounced as in the word 'decir'

  • Plural noun - a word that refers to more than one person, place or thing

  • Tienes - part of the verb 'tener' that means 'you have' or 'do you have?'

  • Tengo - part of the verb 'tener' that means 'I have' or 'do I have?'

Common misconception

When translating 'do you have' into Spanish, we need to translate every single word, including 'do'.

'Do you have?' translate as '¿tienes?' and we do not translate 'do'.
