💡 Grammar Points
Matching with Nouns
Since this word ends in 'a', it must be used with feminine words (like 'la solución' or 'una carta'). If the word you are describing is masculine, you must change it to 'inmediato'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the wrong ending
Mistake: "Un efecto inmediata."
Correction: Say 'un efecto inmediato' because 'efecto' is a masculine word.
⭐ Usage Tips
Family Talk
Just like in English, you can use 'familia inmediata' to talk about your parents and siblings rather than your cousins or distant relatives.
