💡 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.
