Key learning points

  1. Numbers 1-12 go before the noun to indicate how many. Numbers don't change spelling for gender.
  2. Adding-s to nouns ending in -o or -a makes them plural.
  3. The verb 'tener' can be used with numbers and nouns to say how many I and others have.
  4. Listening and writing sound-symbol correspondences [ce] and [ci] helps to learn them.

Keywords

  • Tengo - part of the verb ‘tener’ (to have, having) meaning I have

  • Tiene - part of the verb ‘tener’ (to have, having) meaning she, he, it has
