💡 Grammar Points

Feminine Plural

Since the singular form (respuesta) is feminine, this plural form must always be paired with feminine words, like 'las respuestas' or 'muchas respuestas'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Mixing Gender

Mistake: "Los respuestas"

Correction: Las respuestas. Remember that 'respuesta' ends in '-a' and is feminine, so use the feminine plural article 'las'.

⭐ Usage Tips

Getting a Response

To ask for a response to an email or question, you often use the verb 'esperar' (to wait for): 'Esperamos tus respuestas' (We await your responses).
