💡 Grammar Points

Matching the Number

In Spanish, words that describe things must match the number of things they talk about. Because this word ends in 's', you only use it when talking about two or more people or objects.

One Form for All

Unlike many Spanish words that change for 'boy' or 'girl' groups, this word stays exactly the same whether you are talking about a group of men, a group of women, or a mix of both.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Forgeting the 's'

Mistake: "Los libros están disponible."

Correction: Los libros están disponibles. Because 'libros' is more than one, 'disponible' must also become more than one by adding an 's'.

⭐ Usage Tips

When to use it

Use this word exactly like 'available' in English. It's great for checking if a hotel has rooms or if your friends can hang out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use 'disponibles' for people?

Yes! You can use it to ask if your friends are free to hang out or if workers are ready to start a task.

Is 'disponibles' masculine or feminine?

It's both! In Spanish, adjectives that end in 'e' don't change based on gender. You only add the 's' for plural.
