Making it Plural
When a Spanish word ends in 'z', you change the 'z' to a 'c' and add 'es' to make it more than one. So, one 'nuez' becomes many 'nueces'.
Gender Memory Aid
Even though it doesn't end in 'a', 'nuez' is feminine. You always say 'la nuez' or 'una nuez'.
Spelling the Plural
Mistake: “nuezes”
Correction: nueces. Remember that 'z' almost always turns into 'c' before an 'e' in Spanish.
