💡 Grammar Points

Gender Agreement

Since 'agradecida' ends in -a, it must always describe a feminine person or thing (like 'la mujer' or 'la ayuda'). If you are male, you must say 'agradecido'.

Prepositions: Por vs. Con

Use 'por' (for) to say what you are grateful for ('agradecida por tu ayuda'). Use 'con' (with/to) to say who you are grateful to ('agradecida con mi jefe').

❌ Common Pitfalls

Mixing Genders

Mistake: "Un hombre dijo: 'Estoy agradecida por el regalo.'"

Correction: A man must say: 'Estoy agradecido por el regalo.' The ending must match the speaker's gender.

⭐ Usage Tips

Quick Thanks
