💡 Grammar Points

Where did the accent go?

The singular word 'sesión' has an accent mark on the 'o' to show where the stress is. In the plural 'sesiones', the stress stays on that same 'o', but because the word now ends in 's' and has an extra syllable, the accent mark is no longer needed according to Spanish spelling rules.

It is always feminine

Even though it ends in 'es', this word is feminine because it comes from 'la sesión'. You should always use 'las' with it: 'las sesiones'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Sessions vs. Sections

Mistake: "Using 'secciones' when you mean 'sesiones'."

Correction: Use 'secciones' for parts of a book or building; use 'sesiones' for periods of time or meetings.

⭐ Usage Tips

Talking about movies

In Spain, if you want to know what time a movie starts, you ask for the 'sesiones'. It's the most natural way to refer to the daily schedule of screenings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'sesiones' used for school classes?

Sometimes, but 'clases' is much more common. 'Sesiones' is usually reserved for more specific workshops, therapy, or formal meetings.

Why is it 'las sesiones' and not 'los sesiones'?

In Spanish, words ending in '-ción' or '-sión' are almost always feminine. Since the plural comes from 'la sesión', it remains feminine: 'las sesiones'.
