Using job titles without 'un'
When you say someone IS a lawmaker (using the verb 'ser'), you don't need to use 'un' or 'una'. For example, say 'Él es legislador' instead of 'Él es un legislador'.
Plural forms
Because the word ends in a consonant (r), you simply add '-es' to make it plural: 'los legisladores'.
Don't confuse with 'abogado'
Mistake: “Él es un legislador y me ayudó con mi juicio.”
Correction: Él es un abogado y me ayudó con mi juicio. A 'legislador' makes the laws, but an 'abogado' (lawyer) helps you in court.
