The 'Is' Rule

Even though it ends in 's,' this word is feminine. Always use 'la' or 'una' with it.

One word, many items

The word 'tesis' doesn't change when it becomes plural. To say 'theses,' you just change the word 'the' from 'la' to 'las'.

The Gender Trap

Mistake:El tesis es muy larga.

Correction: La tesis es muy larga. (Tesis is feminine, so you must use 'la' and match the adjective ending).

Adding extra 'es'

Mistake:Tengo que leer muchas tesises.

Correction: Tengo que leer muchas tesis. (Never add 'es' to the end of this word; it already sounds plural!)
