Grammar Rules & Patterns

The 'Tengo' Sentence Rule Tengo + número (number) + parte del cuerpo (body part) To say how many body parts you have, always start with 'Tengo', then the number, then the body part. It's like a recipe! The 'One' Rule: Un y Una Use 'un' for some words and 'una' for others when you mean 'one'. For body parts, we say 'un ojo' but 'una cabeza'. Just remember 'cabeza' and 'nariz' use 'una'. It's a special pattern we learn by heart. ❤️
