Spanish speakers sometimes make two common mistakes when talking about jobs:
- Missing ‘a’ or ‘an’: In Spanish, you might say “Soy médico.” But in English, you must say “I am a doctor.” или “She is a nurse.” Always use ‘a’ or ‘an’ before a singular job title.
- Chef vs. Cook: Both prepare food, but a chef is usually a professional, often in charge of a kitchen in a restaurant. A cook can be anyone who prepares food, including at home. For example, “My mother is a great cook.” but “Gordon Ramsay is a famous chef.”
