Is "El estudiante tiene unas preguntas" correct? Or just in english articles are not required when we using noun in plural form or uncountable nouns? Are nouns in spanish countable/uncountable? For example: "Yo bebo leche" and there is no article in contrast to "Yo como un sándwich".
Estoy un poco confundido. ¿Alguien me lo puede explicar, por favor?
El (o la) estudiante tiene pregunta(s). I typed pregunta (singular) because I didn't catch 'preguntas' (plural). Both should be accepted because the example was not enunciated properly. I know that some Spanish accents will omit the final 's' in many words... I learnt some Spanish in Andalucía in Spain a very long time ago... the final 's' is usually chopped off the end. As in, Musha gracia... instead of Muchas Gracias. There's nothing wrong with that, not at all, me gusta mucho andaluz . But in a learning situation, every letter must be pronounced at this early stage. Perhaps there's something wrong with my speakers...
I just had a question that I got it wrong for putting el estudiante instead of la estudiante. This one wanted el estudiante. How do you know which one (el or la) to use when it's non-specific like this? I know it's feminine but sometimes it's not. I'm confused can anyone give me some clarity? Thanks in advance!
