💡 Grammar Points
Making it Plural
To make 'grabación' plural, we add '-es' to the end. Since the word ends in a consonant (n), we need that extra 'e' to make it easy to say.
The Vanishing Accent
The singular word 'grabación' has an accent mark on the 'o'. When you make it plural ('grabaciones'), you take the accent mark away because the natural stress stays on the same part of the word.
❌ Common Pitfalls
The 'O' Accent
Mistake: "grabaciónes"
Correction: grabaciones (no accent mark)
⭐ Usage Tips
Versatile Usage
You can use this for anything that was 'captured'—from a voice memo on WhatsApp to a high-quality movie scene.
