Let’s form sentences! Remember to add “s” to vowels and “es” to consonants to form plurals. Remember that the word “the” in Spanish has four forms: el, los, la, las. Remember that the word “a” or “an” is expressed: un/una. Remember that “Hay” means “There is” or “There are. Put “No” before “hay” to state “There is/are not” or “There is no/There are no.” Remember that “está” is used for the location with a singular noun and that “están” is used for a plural noun.
