Always Feminine: 'la habitación'

Like most Spanish nouns that end in '-ción', 'habitación' is a feminine word. This means you should always use feminine words like 'la', 'una', or 'esta' with it. For example, 'la habitación es grande' (the room is big).

Using the wrong word for 'room'

Mistake:Sometimes learners aren't sure whether to use 'habitación', 'cuarto', or 'dormitorio'.

Correction: Think of 'habitación' as a great all-purpose word. It works for a bedroom or a hotel room. 'Cuarto' is very common too, especially in Latin America. 'Dormitorio' specifically means 'bedroom' because it comes from 'dormir' (to sleep).
