"She has a cat."

Translation: Ela tem uma gata.

[thillerson]

Why doesn't it accept "um gato"?

[NathiPotter]

Hello, i'm brasilian. The app is wrong... "Um gato" is correct too

[LuisMontal]

Same here. Makes no sense.

[MarcoChave736158]

What is the difference between tem and têm??

[AvAcadoFriend]

what are the difference between "gato" and "gata"??

[Rodrigues.62]

TEM is singular and TÊM is plural: Ele tem, ela tem, você tem / Eles têm, Elas têm, Vocês têm.

[gaby18100]

The difference is that "tem" is singular and "têm" is plural. Bons estudos!!

[NathiPotter]

Hello, i'm brasilian, TEM is for singular :ela tem. And TÊM is for plural: elas tem

[Paulenrique]

It's related to verb conjugation (http://www.conjuga-me.net/verbo-ter).

[NguynNgcTn209534]

what's the different between gato and gata?

[ThanKwee]

The difference between gato and gata is that 'gato' is a male cat, and 'gata' is a female cat.

[NathiPotter]

Hello, " Gato" is for male, and "Gata" is for female

[JasonLaboy]

How do you know its supposed to be a female cat though?

[Linguamaster2]

I put both in and so in this situation, though recently they have been rather picky about the masculine and feminine, both can be correct.

[Kerry218744]

I don't understand why um gato or uma gata aren't effectively synonymous with this

[ph.5Qmymm]

How we r gonna know gender i
Of cat ,

[dunnie6]

Another right answer. You are taking hearts away...owe 2 for sure,

[MichellePi1996]

If the subject is feminine, why should I describe it with a masculine word
Would not be better to write ela é uma gata instead of ela é um gato? Is the subject a non binary gender person?

[MrSantiagoForero]

No, Ela tem um gato = She has a cat.
She is not a cat, she owns the cat

[betaleo22]

So why would have "Ela tem um gato" been marked wrong??? It would have been marked wrong! Why does it have to be "Ela tem uma gata" to be right??

[betaleo22]

Where is my original reply??

[MCD0HE]

"Ela tem um gato" is incorrect. Why?

[ph.5Qmymm]

How we r gonna know gender of cat ??

[PeymanHaji1]

Gato is right ... But the app recognize s it wrong

[Bluey847546]

I had the same problem, I hope this helps someone. I researched online and the only difference between "gato" and "gata" is masculine and feminine.
Gato = male.
Gata = Female.
So technically they are both correct.

[EmanuelaRi758324]

And how can I understand that it is female???

[AliceMarle4]

Please use the hearts....owe me 1

[ph.kLdgPg]

I write sentences making gato as cat but show gata?

[ph.lTrxvM]

I English it must have been mentioned as male or female. So, in your teaching there is no mention of difference in Gato or Gata

[SharbelleF]

Why is this marked wrong..."Ela tem um gato"...when it is the right answer?

[Kerry218744]

Maybe women only get to have female cats..lol
