Grammar Rules & Patterns

Sentence Order: 'Tengo' First Tengo + [number] + [body part] In Spanish, when you say what you have, you start with 'Tengo'. It's like saying 'I have' at the beginning of the sentence. Number Before the Noun dos brazos (two arms) The number always comes right before the thing you are counting. We say 'dos brazos', not 'brazos dos'. Plural 'S' for More Than One un brazo (one arm) -> dos brazos (two arms) When you have more than one of something, you usually add an 's' at the end. It's like in English! 🐍
