Today's lesson is about Spanish Subject Pronouns. La lección de hoy trata sobre los pronombres personales en español. A subject pronoun is a word   that takes the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence. For the plural pronouns, if the group referred to is all male, use the masculine ending: nosotros / ellos. If it is a mix of male and female, use the masculine ending too: nosotros / ellos If it is all female, use the feminine ending: nosotras / ellas. Juan, Pedro y Ana escuchan música. Ellos escuchan música. Juan, Pedro and Ana listen to music. They listen to music. Juana y María están felices. Ellas están felices. Juana and María are happy. They are happy. Use “tú” for people you know well, such as family, friends, and younger people. This is the informal way to say “you”. Use “usted” to show respect.

Designed by Freepik In this lesson you will learn how to conjugate Spanish Regular Verbs in the present tense. All Spanish verbs are either “regular” or “irregular.” Many Spanish verbs are completely regular, meaning that they follow a specific pattern of conjugation.

Today we are going to learn how to make Spanish nouns plural. Just as in English, in Spanish there are nouns that name one thing (singular nouns), and nouns that name more than one thing (plural nouns) To make a singular noun plural, all you need to do is to look at the last letter in the word. Why? Because, Spanish singular to plural are formed by adding specific ends to the nouns. So, in this lesson you will find the basic rules for making nouns plural in Spanish. If the word ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u), just add the letter "s" at the end of the word. For nouns that end in these specific stressed vowels: í and ú we may add both "es" or "s" If the word ends in a consonant we must add "es" at the end of the word to make it plural. Words which end in a consonant and have an accent mark on the last syllable in the singular form, will drop the accent in the plural form. Some plural words ma
