The Z to C Rule
In Spanish, when words ending in 'z' become plural (referring to more than one thing), the 'z' changes to a 'c' before adding 'es'. So, 'veloz' becomes 'veloces'.
The 'Veloza' Error
Mistake: “La gata es veloza.”
Correction: La gata es veloz. 'Veloz' does not have a feminine form ending in 'a'.
Spelling the Plural
Mistake: “Los coches son velozes.”
Correction: Los coches son veloces. Always use 'c' when making this word plural.
