❌ Common Pitfalls
The Plural Form
Mistake: "Using 'análises' for the plural."
Correction: The plural is exactly the same as the singular: 'el análisis' (the analysis) and 'los análisis' (the analyses/tests). Only the article changes.
⭐ Usage Tips
The Stress is Key
Notice the accent mark on the second 'a' (a-NÁ-li-sis). This tells you where to put the stress when you say it.
