Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Spanish
I speak one language [singular form] yo hablo un idioma
we speak three languages [plural noun] nosotros hablamos tres idiomas
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] él visita muchos países
they are happy now [plural pronoun] ahora (ellos) son felices

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Spanish by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

Help ¡ayuda!
Call the ambulance ¡llame a una ambulancia!
I need a doctor necesito un doctor
Where is the closest pharmacy? ¿dónde está la farmacia más cercana?
Are you okay? ¡está bien?
