Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 'todas' and 'todos'?

'Todas' is used for groups of people or things that are all feminine (like 'las chicas', the girls, or 'las sillas', the chairs). 'Todos' is used for groups that are all masculine ('los chicos', the boys) or mixed groups of masculine and feminine ('los chicos y las chicas').

Can I say 'todas de las chicas'?

While you might hear it sometimes, it's much more common and natural to say 'todas las chicas' (all the girls) or just 'todas' (all of them) if it's clear who you're talking about. The 'de' isn't usually necessary.

How is 'todas las mañanas' different from 'cada mañana'?

They are very similar and often interchangeable, both meaning 'every morning'. 'Todas las mañanas' can feel a bit more like you're emphasizing the entire collection of mornings as a whole, while 'cada mañana' (each morning) focuses more on the individual mornings one by one. But in everyday conversation, the difference is very small.
