💡 Grammar Points
Feminine Plural
Since 'páginas' is feminine, always use the feminine article 'las' (the) and make sure any descriptive words (adjectives) you use also end in '-as' (e.g., 'las páginas amarillas').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Incorrect Gender
Mistake: "Los páginas"
Correction: Las páginas. Remember, the base word 'página' is feminine, so the plural is too.
Missing Accent
Mistake: "Paginas (without the accent)"
Correction: Páginas. The accent mark on the 'á' is essential; it ensures the stress falls correctly on the first syllable (PÁ-gi-nas).
⭐ Usage Tips
Digital vs. Print
This word works for both physical books ('páginas del libro') and digital documents or websites ('páginas web').

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'páginas' have an accent mark?
The accent mark on the 'á' is there to ensure the word is stressed correctly on the first syllable (PÁ-gi-nas). Without the accent, the natural Spanish pronunciation rules would stress the second-to-last syllable, which would be incorrect for this word.
What is the difference between 'páginas' and 'hojas'?
While both mean 'sheets,' 'páginas' specifically refers to the numbered sides of a book or document. 'Hojas' (leaves) is a more general term for any single sheet of paper, regardless of whether it's bound in a book or not.
