Grammar Rules & Patterns
The Magic Accent Mark (La Tilde)
Mamá and Papá need a little line on top of the 'a': á.
This little line tells you to say that part of the word a little louder. Ma-MÁ. Pa-PÁ. It's very important!
Using 'Mi' (My)
The word 'mi' always goes BEFORE the person.
To say 'my mom', you say 'mi mamá'. To say 'my dad', you say 'mi papá'. It's like building with blocks! 🧱
