Key learning points
- Numbers 1-12 go before the noun to indicate how many. Numbers don't change spelling for gender.
- Adding-s to nouns ending in -o or -a makes them plural.
- The verb 'tener' can be used with numbers and nouns to say how many I and others have.
- Listening and writing sound-symbol correspondences [ce] and [ci] helps to learn them.
Keywords
Tengo - part of the verb ‘tener’ (to have, having) meaning I have
Tiene - part of the verb ‘tener’ (to have, having) meaning she, he, it has

Numbers do not change their spelling for gender.
