💡 Grammar Points
Masculine Plural
This word is the plural form of the masculine noun 'litro' (liter). When you use it, the number or adjective before it must also be masculine and plural (e.g., 'unos pocos litros').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the Singular with Numbers
Mistake: "Compré tres litro de leche."
Correction: Compré tres litros de leche. Remember that after any number greater than one, the measurement word must be plural.
⭐ Usage Tips
Always Metric
In Spanish, 'litros' is always used to mean the metric unit (about 0.26 US liquid gallons). You'll rarely hear non-metric volume measurements in everyday conversation.
