Spanish speakers sometimes make mistakes with plural forms or regional differences:
- Plural Nouns: In English, words like trousers, jeans, и shorts are always plural. We say “My jeans are new”, а не “My jean is new”. Even if it’s one item, it takes a plural verb.
- Trousers vs. Pants: In British English, trousers means the long clothing for legs. In American English, they say pants. Be careful, because in British English, pants means underwear!
