Feminine Plural
Remember that 'razones' is always used with feminine articles and adjectives because its singular form, 'la razón,' is feminine (even though it ends in 'n').
Why vs. Reason
While 'por qué' means 'why,' 'las razones' refers to the actual explanation or justification. You often use 'por' before 'razones': 'por razones de salud' (for health reasons).
Using the wrong preposition
Mistake: “Hice esto para razones personales.”
Correction: Hice esto por razones personales. (Use 'por' to mean 'on account of' or 'due to.')
