Errori comuni per chi parla spagnolo

1. Using "the" instead of "my/your" with body parts:

In Spanish, you often use "la" or "el" (the) with body parts. But in English, we usually use possessive adjectives like my, your, his, her.

  • Sbagliato: I hurt the hand.
  • A destra: I hurt my hand.
  • Sbagliato: The head hurts.
  • A destra: My head hurts.

2. Forgetting irregular plural forms:

Most body parts add -s for plural (e.g., hand becomes hands). But some are irregular.

  • Sbagliato: My two foot are big.
  • A destra: My two feet are big.
