Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'facturas' the same as 'cuentas'?

They are similar, but *facturas* are formal, official documents required for taxes (like a business invoice). *Cuentas* is a broader term for bills, checks (in restaurants), or bank accounts.

How do I know if 'facturas' means 'invoices' or 'you invoice'?

Look at the words around it. If it follows 'las' or 'unas' (feminine plural markers), it's the noun ('the invoices'). If it follows 'tú' (or implies 'tú'), it's the verb ('you invoice').
