💡 Grammar Points
Matching the Group
When using 'juntas' to mean 'together,' remember the ending must match the group. If the group has at least one male or mixed genders, you must use the masculine plural form: 'juntos'.
Adverb vs. Adjective
This word often acts like an adverb (explaining how an action is done: 'trabajar juntas'), but it can also be an adjective (describing a noun: 'mesas juntas').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Gender Misuse
Mistake: "Mis amigos y yo vivimos juntas."
Correction: Mis amigos y yo vivimos juntos. (Use 'juntos' because the group includes males/mixed genders.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Using 'Juntas' with 'Estar'

⭐ Usage Tips
Using 'Juntarse'
Often, Spanish speakers use the reflexive form 'juntarse' (to get together/to meet up) instead of simple 'juntar' when talking about people meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 'juntas' is the verb or the adverb?
Look at the subject! If the sentence is directed at 'tú' (you, informal), it is likely the verb ('Tú juntas...'). If it describes two or more feminine subjects acting or being somewhere, it is the adverb ('Ellas están juntas...').
Is 'juntas' the same as 'reuniones'?
They are synonyms, but 'juntas' often implies a more formal, official, or administrative meeting (like a board meeting), whereas 'reuniones' is a general term for any kind of meeting or get-together.
