Plurality and Gender
This is a feminine word. Because it ends in 'es', it refers to more than one explanation. Use 'las' or 'unas' with it.
Drop the Accent
While the singular form 'explicación' has an accent mark on the 'o', the plural form 'explicaciones' does not because the stress naturally stays on the second-to-last syllable.
Spelling with X
Mistake: “esplicaciones”
Correction: explicaciones (always starts with 'ex-' in Spanish, just like in English).
Keeping the Accent
