Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'llenas' and 'llena'?
'Llenas' (plural) has two uses: it's the adjective describing multiple feminine things (e.g., 'las jarras llenas'), OR it's the verb form 'you fill' (tú llenas). 'Llena' (singular) can be the adjective describing one feminine thing ('la jarra llena') or the verb form 'he/she/it fills' ('él llena').
How do I know if 'llenas' is the verb or the adjective?
If it follows a noun or verb like 'están' (are), it's the adjective describing the noun (e.g., 'Las mesas están llenas'). If it follows the pronoun 'tú' (you) and is followed by an object, it's the verb (e.g., 'Tú llenas el cubo').
