Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'actividades' end in -es if it's already plural?
The singular word is 'actividad'. In Spanish, most words that end in a consonant (like the 'd' in 'actividad') form their plural by adding '-es'. This is the standard rule for words like 'ciudad' (ciudades) and 'doctor' (doctores).
Is 'actividades' always feminine?
Yes. The singular word 'actividad' is feminine, and it keeps that gender in the plural form 'actividades'. This means you must always use feminine words like 'las' or 'muchas' before it.
