💡 Grammar Points

Feminine Plural

Since the singular form ('decisión') is feminine, the plural 'decisiones' is also feminine. This means you must use feminine words before it, like 'las' (the) or 'esas' (those).

Plural Ending

Words that end in '-ión' in Spanish form their plural by adding '-es' and keeping the accent on the 'o' (e.g., canción -> canciones, decisión -> decisiones).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the Wrong Verb

Mistake: "Hacer decisiones (To do decisions)"

Correction: Tomar decisiones (To take/make decisions). The verb 'tomar' is the standard verb used for 'making' choices in Spanish.

⭐ Usage Tips

The Power of 'Tomar'

Remember the pattern: in Spanish, you 'take' a bus, 'take' a shower, and 'take' decisions (tomar). This is a very versatile verb.
