Hi senor jordan! I have a question about the sentence: We do not play drums.

Shouldn't it be : Nosotros tocamos las baterias instead of nosotros tocamos la baterias. Thanks so much. hasta pronto!

@MsNike82

"la batería' = drum (set)... so it wouldn't be plural... think of it how words like 'family' (la familia) and 'hair' (el pelo) also mean more than one thing even though they're grammatically singular.

[saltontherim]

do you always have to put the pronouns before the verbs? for instance for the verb "cocinar", can you say "I cook paella" by saying "Cocino paella"?

[tontitofrito]

(yo) cocino paella

Pronouns are not needed. They are often used for emphasis or in times of confusion

[pinkytm1]

You and google translator say radio is female. But it ends in "o"?

[tontitofrito]

there are always exceptions.

Interesting note:

la radio --> what you listen to (radio waves?)

el radio --> physical radio you carry around and can touch

@DeadlyThrashViking im not sr jordan but watev....... i can help too..... they use la instead of el because el is masculine and la is feminine. most words that end with a is feminine... most words that end with o is masculine. these are some exceptions when it's la and it ends with a o and also it's el but it ends with an a (p.s i dont know why that happens but it's an exception and you have to remember it) e.g. la mano, la radio, el agua. (hand, radio, water)

[darthkantus]

and in the "vosotros/vosotras" form? i'm learning spanish of Spain! ;X

[DeadlyThrashViking]

Why do you use la instead of el when saying the? e.g. la radio, la pizza

Thank you and I love your classes!

¡Hola! Me gustaría agregar como dato extra que en el idioma español los pronombres personales pueden omitirse a diferencia del ingles. Es correcto decir: canto y yo canto, tambien es correcto decir: canta y el, ella, usted canta.
